The summary from before our checks changed
This apartment earns a strong grade primarily because the building has minimal violation history, just one open HPD violation and zero Class C (immediately hazardous) violations, indicating solid maintenance for a 149-unit property built in 2003. At $5,899 per month for 842 square feet, you're paying about 10% above the neighborhood median of $5,350 based on 16 comparable listings, so you'll want to assess whether the unit's condition and finishes justify that premium during your visit. The building had one bedbug report in the past 12 months and 10 noise complaints to 311, which are relatively low numbers for a building this size, but worth asking the management company (AKAM Associates) about the specific circumstances if these concern you. Key details like elevator access, laundry availability, and pet policies weren't confirmed in the listing, so verify these directly with the owner, particularly elevator status since the building has 7 floors and your unit designation suggests an upper floor. The October 2026 availability date is unusually far out, so confirm whether that's accurate or a listing error, and clarify lease terms including length and any concessions since neither was specified.
