The summary from before our checks changed
This listing stands out for an asking rent of $1,900, which is 65% below the Manhattan borough median of $5,495 for comparable units, a gap large enough to warrant extra scrutiny before committing. The 21-story, 141-unit building constructed in 1964 currently has 22 open HPD violations, 11 of which are Class C (immediately hazardous conditions such as lack of heat, hot water, or serious pest issues), so you should ask the building manager, Prestige Management Inc., which specific violations affect the unit you'd be renting and request proof of scheduled repairs. The listing lacks a unit number, which is common on Craigslist and Facebook but makes independent verification harder; at the viewing, confirm the exact apartment and cross-check that the person showing it is authorized by the registered managing agent. Seven noise complaints were filed via 311 in the past year, with no rodent or bedbug reports on record, though you may want to inspect baseboards and window frames yourself. In-unit laundry is listed, but pet policy and square footage are not disclosed, so clarify both in writing before signing.
Go by the rows below. Where a record says not retrieved, we don't know.
