512 East 13th Street #5B, NEW YORK, NY 10009 · 5B
East Village, Manhattan · 1 BR · $3,200/mo · active as of 9/27/2026
This 1900-built, 21-unit building at 512 East 13th Street has significant maintenance issues you'll want to investigate: there are currently 121 open HPD violations including 28 Class C violations, which are the most serious category requiring immediate correction (such as lack of heat, lead paint hazards, or serious structural problems). The building also logged 25 heat complaints over the past 12 months, which is notable heading into the colder months—ask the landlord about the heating system's condition and whether recent repairs have been made. At $3,200/month, the asking rent is about 11% below the neighborhood median of $3,595 based on 45 comparable listings, which could reflect the building's condition issues or be a genuine value. The listing photos are virtually staged and shot with wide-angle lenses, so rooms may appear larger than they are; bring a tape measure to the viewing to verify actual dimensions. Pets are allowed according to the listing, and no bedbugs or rodent complaints were filed in the past year, though you should still inspect for signs of pests during your visit.
