The photos may be of another apartment. The post says pictures of similar unit in the building. We didn't judge light, size or views from them. Ask for photos or a live video of this unit.

The listing states the photos may be of another unit in the building, so you cannot rely on them to judge this apartment's actual layout, light, windows, or views—confirm all of these in person at the viewing. The building has 12 open HPD violations, including 5 Class C violations which are considered immediately hazardous (such as lead paint, lack of heat, or gas leaks); ask the landlord or managing agent Rafael Sassouni for the status of these repairs and check during your visit whether any visible issues like peeling paint or broken fixtures remain. There were 2 heat complaints filed in the past 12 months, which is worth noting for a 22-unit building built in 1900—ask current tenants or the broker about heating reliability during winter. At $3,450/month, the asking rent is about 3% below the neighborhood median of $3,550 for comparable units, which is a modest discount but not unusual. Key details like square footage, pet policy, laundry availability, and elevator access were not provided in the listing, so you'll need to ask the broker directly and verify these at the showing.
