Nothing below changes the decision for you

This building has 50 open HPD violations, including 6 Class C violations—the most serious category, typically involving immediate hazards like heat or lead paint—which is notably high for an 88-unit property and warrants asking the landlord what these violations are and whether they've been addressed. The listing lacks a unit number, making it harder to verify exactly what you're renting; confirm the specific apartment in writing before signing anything. At $2,450 for 1,025 square feet, this is 29% below the Manhattan median for comparable units, which is a significant discount that may reflect the building's condition issues. The photos appear to be virtually staged or AI-generated with no visible windows and artificial lighting, so at the viewing pay close attention to actual natural light, room dimensions, and window placement since wide-angle distortion can make spaces look larger. There's no laundry on site, and nine noise complaints were filed to 311 in the past year, which you might explore by visiting at different times of day. The building dates to 1929 with 17 floors, so ask whether there's an elevator since the listing doesn't specify.

Things to check first

  • No unit number; common on Craigslist and FB, harder to verify.

Photos

We looked at all 1 photos.

This appears to be a virtually staged or AI-generated rendering of a living room. No natural light sources or windows are visible. Wide-angle distortion is evident at the frame edges, and the lighting is artificially brightened with a soft, uniform quality. Furnishings and decor appear staged rather than lived-in.
