The building at 73 1st Avenue has 46 open HPD violations, including 8 classified as Class C (immediately hazardous conditions such as lead paint, no heat, or inadequate fire safety). This is a significant maintenance concern for a 16-unit building from 1900, and you should ask the landlord which violations apply to unit 5RE and whether repairs are scheduled—you can also verify current violation status yourself through HPD's online portal. The listing discloses that photos may be of a similar unit rather than this one, so you cannot rely on them for the actual layout, light, or condition; confirm everything in person at the viewing. On pricing, the $3,450 asking rent is about 4% below the neighborhood median of $3,595 based on 45 comparable listings, with roughly 11% of nearby units currently offering concessions. The listing notes that a guarantor or Rhino deposit alternative is required to apply, so factor that into your qualification process. No heat complaints, 311 noise calls, rodent reports, or bedbug filings have been logged for this building in the past 12 months.
