This check is partly done. Some city records didn't come back (heat and hot water complaints, 12 months). The rest are below.
This 1920 Bushwick building has 8 open HPD violations, including 2 Class C violations—the most serious category that typically involves conditions like heat, hot water, or lead paint hazards—so you should ask the landlord specifically what these violations are for and whether they've been corrected, then verify during your viewing that heat, water, and basic systems work properly. At $3,600 monthly, the asking rent sits about 10% below the neighborhood median of $4,000 based on 30 comparable listings, which offers meaningful savings if the unit's condition justifies it. The building is a 4-story walkup from 1920 with 8 residential units, and the listing doesn't specify which floor unit 1L is on, so confirm this along with whether in-unit or building laundry exists and the pet policy. The lease wouldn't start until October 2026, an unusually distant availability date worth confirming is accurate. No 311 complaints for noise, rodents, or bedbugs were filed in the past 12 months, and whether the broker charges a fee isn't specified in the listing.
