What we checked

Open the full report

This two-story, one-unit building from 1987 has a clean city record: no open HPD violations, no heat complaints in the past year, and no rodent or bedbug reports. The one notable item is 6 noise complaints to 311 in the past 12 months, worth asking the landlord about the source, whether from street activity or neighbors, and listening for yourself during your viewing at different times of day. At $3,606 per month, the asking rent sits at the 25th percentile for the neighborhood and about 6% below the local median of $3,850, based on 11 comparable listings, a relatively competitive price for the area. The listing lacks a unit number, which is common on informal platforms but means you should confirm the exact unit you're being shown matches what's advertised. Some photos appear over-brightened or use wide-angle lenses that can make rooms look larger than they are, so bring a tape measure if square footage matters to you. Details like laundry, pet policy, and broker fee weren't specified in the listing, so clarify these with the contact before committing.

Before you send any money

No unit number; common on Craigslist and FB, harder to verify.

See it in person, or on a live video call, before paying anything.
Never send a deposit by Zelle, Venmo, Cash App or gift card to someone you haven’t met. It can’t be taken back.
Cheap for the area, a rush to decide and an owner who is abroad. Together those are the classic scam.
