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.
This apartment is priced at $4,300, which sits at the 25th percentile for the neighborhood—14% below the median of $5,000 based on 12 comparable listings—making it a competitively priced option for the Upper East Side. However, the listing lacks substantial detail: basic building information like year built, number of units, elevator access, and violation history couldn't be verified through public records, so you'll want to ask the broker from Living New York to provide HPD registration details and confirm building amenities before your visit. The unit is not on the ground floor or basement level, but the specific floor wasn't disclosed, which you should clarify to understand light exposure and walkup requirements if there's no elevator. Pet policy, laundry availability, and lease terms including whether this is a no-fee listing are all listed as unknown, so prepare a checklist of these questions for the viewing. The absence of any flagged concerns in the data is notable, but given how much information is missing, thorough verification at the showing will be essential.
