Murray Hill, Manhattan · 1 BR · $2,800/mo · active as of 9/29/2026
This building has 41 open HPD violations including 5 Class C violations, which are the most serious category requiring immediate correction for hazardous conditions like lead paint, heat failures, or vermin. At the viewing, ask which specific violations affect this unit and request documentation showing repair timelines. The building also had 2 heat complaints filed in the past 12 months, so ask current tenants about winter heating reliability. On price, the asking rent of $2,800 is 24 percent below the neighborhood median of $3,695 based on 21 comparable listings, which warrants asking why the rent is significantly lower. Some photos show virtual staging and wide-angle distortion, so measure rooms yourself and compare to what you see in person. The building dates to 1900 and has 10 residential units across 4 floors, and you should confirm whether elevator access and laundry are available since those details were not provided.
