The summary from before our checks changed
This apartment is priced notably above the local market, $5,750 is 19% higher than the $4,850 median for comparable units in the neighborhood, and even exceeds the 75th percentile of $5,250 among 18 recent listings. The 1928 building has just two open HPD violations, none of them Class C (the most serious), and only one noise complaint logged in the past year with no rodent or bedbug reports, which suggests reasonably well-maintained conditions. Key details remain unconfirmed: whether the building is rent-stabilized, whether there's in-unit or in-building laundry, the pet policy, and the unit's square footage, ask the listing agent at Douglas Elliman for written answers before your viewing. At the showing, run faucets to check water pressure, inspect window seals and radiators (a 1928 building likely has steam heat), and confirm the November 2026 availability still holds. Given the price premium, it's worth asking what justifies the rent relative to nearby options and whether there's any flexibility on terms.
