227 E 81st St APT 3W, New York, NY 10028 · 3W

This check is partly done. Some city records didn't come back (heat and hot water complaints, 12 months). The rest are below.

This pre-war building at 227 E 81st St has 23 open HPD violations, including 4 Class C violations which are considered immediately hazardous—these could involve issues like lead paint, lack of heat, or serious pest problems, so you should ask the landlord specifically what each violation is for and request proof they've been addressed before signing. At $4,999/month, the asking rent is about 9% below the Manhattan borough median of $5,495 for comparable units, which is favorable, though no concessions are offered. The 1910 building has 13 residential units across 5 floors; whether there's an elevator isn't confirmed in available records, so verify this at your viewing since the unit appears to be on an upper floor based on the "3W" designation. The lease wouldn't start until September 2026, an unusually long lead time worth clarifying with the listing contact at PREX Realty Corp. During your visit, also confirm laundry access and pet policies since neither is documented, and inspect for any signs of the conditions that may have triggered those open violations.
