The summary from before our checks changed
This unit is priced 26% below the neighborhood median ($4,995 vs. $6,795), which warrants scrutiny, ask the listing agent why the rent is so low and whether there are any lease restrictions or conditions you should know about. The 1930 building has 27 open HPD violations, including 6 Class C violations (the most serious category, covering issues like lead paint, no heat, or major safety hazards); request a list of these violations before signing and confirm at the viewing that none affect your specific unit. Heat complaint data is unavailable, so ask the agent directly about heating reliability and whether the building has had recent heat outages. The building does have an elevator and the listing indicates in-unit laundry, which you should verify is actually installed and functional when you tour. Pet policy is unknown, so confirm this with the agent if relevant to you. The unit won't be available until November 2026, giving you time to investigate but also meaning current conditions may change before move-in.
