This check is not complete. City building records didn't come back when we asked, so this check is incomplete. That is not the same as a clean record.
The summary from before our checks changed
This Chelsea one-bedroom is priced 11% below the neighborhood median of $6,200, which is notable given its 1,100 square feet, a generous size for the area. The photo audit flagged that six of eight images show no natural light, with only the bedroom and one living room angle revealing window access, so you'll want to confirm during your viewing how much daylight actually reaches each room and whether the windows face a courtyard, street, or airshaft. Wide-angle photography appears to exaggerate room dimensions, so bring a tape measure or use a phone app to verify the actual layout matches your furniture plans. Building data on violations, heat complaints, and pest reports wasn't available, meaning you should ask the owner directly about recent building issues and request the HPD registration number to look up the complaint history yourself. The listing is direct from the owner, but no managing agent or company name is provided, so clarifying who handles maintenance and emergencies would be worthwhile before signing.
