East Village, Manhattan · 2 BR · $5,000/mo · active as of 9/27/2026

Incomplete
Building records missing

This check is partly done. Some city records didn't come back (heat and hot water complaints, 12 months). The rest are below.

This 1900-built East Village walkup has five open Class C violations—the most serious category, covering issues like lead paint, lack of heat, or vermin—which is notably high for a 16-unit building and warrants asking the landlord what specific repairs are pending and their timeline. The asking rent of $5,000 sits right at the neighborhood median for comparable units, with no concession currently offered, so the price is market-rate but not a discount. The building has had no 311 complaints for noise, rodents, or bedbugs in the past year, which suggests relatively stable day-to-day conditions despite the open violations. Key details like pet policy, laundry availability, square footage, and whether the unit is rent-stabilized remain unknown, so you should confirm these directly with the listing agent at Corcoran before committing. At the viewing, check water pressure, radiator condition, and any visible signs of deferred maintenance given the building's age and violation history.

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.
