This check is partly done. Some city records didn't come back (heat and hot water complaints, 12 months, bedbug infested units, last filing). The rest are below.
This apartment is priced 13% below the neighborhood median for comparable units, with an asking rent of $5,200 compared to a median of $5,950 across 16 similar listings—a notable value worth understanding, so ask what might explain the lower price and whether the lease includes any unusual terms. The 1964 building has 240 units across 21 floors and currently shows 7 open HPD violations, including 1 Class C violation (the most serious category, indicating an immediately hazardous condition), so request details on what the violations are and confirm any required repairs have been addressed before signing. The unit offers 820 square feet and is available almost immediately on September 21st, which is unusually fast and worth asking about regarding the previous tenant's departure. Laundry availability, pet policy, elevator access, and broker fee status weren't specified in the listing, so you'll want to clarify all of these directly with the management company, Olympia House Delaware LP. The building has had minimal 311 complaints in the past year, with only 3 noise complaints and zero rodent reports, suggesting relatively few resident-reported issues.
