This check is partly done. Some city records didn't come back (heat and hot water complaints, 12 months). The rest are below.
This 1930s 4-unit building in Greenpoint has no open HPD violations and no 311 complaints for noise, rodents, or bedbugs in the past year, an unusually clean record that supports the asking rent of $5,250, which sits at the 75th percentile for the neighborhood (8% above the $4,850 median across 18 comparable units). The listing photos use wide-angle lenses and HDR brightening in several shots, which can make rooms appear larger and lighter than they actually are, so bring a tape measure and visit during daylight to assess true dimensions and natural light. The unit's floor level, square footage, laundry access, and pet policy aren't specified in the listing, so you'll want to confirm these details directly with the owner, who is listed as the contact. The November 2026 availability gives you time to plan, but verify whether the lease term or any concessions apply since neither is stated.
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 all 7 photos.
Listing photos are largely honest but show signs of light enhancement. Photos 1, 4, and 5 display over-brightened conditions (blown-out lighting, HDR halos). Photo 6 (exterior) shows possible wide-angle distortion. The consistent use of bright, polished presentation across multiple rooms suggests deliberate enhancement. Photo 2 (bedroom with fireplace) and Photo 0 (kitchen) appear most straightforward. Wide-angle lens used in at least one interior, inflating perceived room size.
Window well-lit; bright sunlight on floor. Cabinets and appliances appear authentic. No obvious distortion.
Vanity light blown-out white; harsh artificial lighting. Tiles and fixtures look genuine.
Two windows with green foliage visible outside; bright mid-day light. Fireplace architectural detail present. Light pools on floor suggest real sunlight.
Hallway/laundry area. Barn door, stacked washer/dryer, wooden floors authentic. One window glimpsed left. Even lighting.
Very bright uniform white walls and ceiling; possible HDR or over-exposure. Floating shelving and glass closet door look real. No windows visible.
Bright LED vanity light creates uniform white-blown highlights. Subway tile, fixtures authentic. Bathroom appears well-lit but artificially.
Exterior patio. Slight edge distortion suggests wide-angle; furniture and plants appear real. Ivy-covered wall, metal fence, HVAC unit visible.
