The building at 978 Kent Ave has 7 open HPD violations including 1 Class C violation, which indicates a hazardous condition requiring prompt attention—ask the landlord for the specific violation details and whether repairs are scheduled before signing. This 2021 building also generated 12 noise complaints to 311 in the past year, which is notable for an 11-unit property; during your viewing, visit at different times of day and ask current residents about noise levels between units and from common areas. Asking rent of $3,845 sits about 4% below the neighborhood median of $4,000 based on 16 comparable listings, making it competitively priced for the area. The listing photos show signs of heavy digital enhancement or virtual staging—multiple kitchen images feature identical geometric backsplash patterns suggesting AI generation, and room sizes may appear exaggerated—so verify actual finishes, dimensions, and natural light in person. Key details like square footage, pet policy, laundry access, and elevator availability weren't provided in the listing, so confirm these directly with the broker, Nooklyn NYC LLC, or the managing agent, Berish Rubin Waterstone Group LLC.
Photos
We looked at 8 of 12 photos (we check up to 8, and skip any that won't load).
Listing shows 8 spaces across kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom. Multiple kitchens feature geometric black-and-white backsplash (repeated in indices 0, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) suggesting potential AI generation or heavy virtual staging. Bedrooms (1, 7) show contrasting levels of staging: index 1 pristine and styled, index 7 realistic. Bathrooms and some kitchen shots lack natural light and rely on artificial brightening…
