This check is partly done. Some city records didn't come back (heat and hot water complaints, 12 months). The rest are below.
This 1950s building has 7 open HPD violations including 1 Class C violation, which indicates an immediately hazardous condition that legally requires prompt correction, ask the landlord specifically what the Class C violation is and whether it's been addressed, and visually inspect for any obvious safety issues like exposed wiring, broken locks, or missing smoke detectors. The $4,500 asking rent matches the borough median exactly for comparable units, with no concessions offered, though only about 2% of similar listings currently include concessions so this is typical. At 950 square feet, the unit is reasonably sized, but the listing photos show noticeable wide-angle lens distortion that makes rooms appear larger than they are, so bring a tape measure to verify dimensions of spaces that matter to you. The building is a small 3-story, 4-unit property with no recent bedbug or rodent reports, and only one noise complaint in the past year. The unit won't be available until October 2026, which is unusually far out, confirm with the owner why it's being listed so early and whether the availability date is firm.
This summary was written before we separated missing records from clean ones. Go by the rows below: where a record says not retrieved, we don't know.
Photos
We looked at 3 of 12 photos (we check up to 8, and skip any that won't load).
Photos 0 and 1 show living spaces with wide-angle lens distortion that inflates perceived room size. Photo 1 exhibits more pronounced barrel distortion. Photo 2 is an honest exterior shot. Overall, interior photos use wide-angle framing—expect rooms to be more compact in person.
Moderate wide-angle distortion visible; verticals are straight but room feels expansive. Two large windows with bright, warm natural light. Actual room size may be smaller than it appears.
Clear wide-angle distortion: stretched floor, walls bow outward, ceiling appears curved. Three windows with strong, even natural light. Room likely smaller than presented.
Honest exterior facade shot. Red brick building with ivy growth, multiple window types visible. Standard perspective, no obvious enhancement.
We look at the listing's photos where they are published and never store them. These are visual signals, not measurements.
