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 has one open Class C violation on record, Class C issues are considered immediately hazardous under HPD rules, so you should ask the landlord or agent what the violation is for and whether it's been corrected before signing a lease. The asking rent of $4,750 is about 15% below the Manhattan-borough median of $5,600 for comparable units, which represents meaningful savings, though you'll want to confirm square footage and included amenities at the viewing since those details weren't disclosed. The building dates to 1900 and has four floors with eight residential units; five noise complaints were logged in the past year, which is a moderate number, worth listening for street or hallway noise during your visit. Laundry availability and pet policies are unlisted, so confirm both with the broker (TriBro NYC LLC) or the managing agent, Lennox Bishop. The unit won't be available until mid-September 2026, giving you time to coordinate your move but also meaning conditions could change, so verify the lease start date and any concessions in writing.
