Some city records didn't come back (heat and hot water complaints, 12 months). The rest are below.

This apartment is priced at the low end of the neighborhood market, $4,300 matches the 25th percentile of comparable units and sits 20% below the median of $5,350, but the building has notable maintenance issues that could explain the discount. There are currently 17 open HPD violations, including 6 Class C violations, which are the most serious category and typically involve conditions the city considers immediately hazardous, such as lack of heat, hot water, or lead paint problems. At your viewing, ask the building manager specifically what each Class C violation involves and whether repairs are scheduled; you can also look up the violations yourself on HPD's online portal using the address. The building dates to 1900 and has 15 residential units across 5 floors, so you'll want to confirm whether there's an elevator and assess the condition of common areas like stairwells and hallways. There were 10 noise complaints to 311 in the past year, which is moderate for a Midtown building; during your visit, try to gauge soundproofing between units and from the street. The availability date of October 2026 is unusually far out, so clarify whether that's accurate and what the lease terms would be.
