The summary from before our checks changed
This 1920 building at 79 Avenue A has 11 open HPD violations, including 2 Class C violations which are considered immediately hazardous conditions, ask the landlord specifically what these violations are and confirm whether repairs have been scheduled before signing a lease. The asking rent of $5,200 is 4% above the neighborhood median of $4,995 based on 23 comparable units, which falls within a typical range but worth noting given the outstanding maintenance issues. The building is a smaller 4-unit walkup, and at apartment 6C in a 4-floor building, you should clarify whether this is actually a 6th-floor unit in a building with an unlisted additional floor or a mislabeling, since that affects your daily climb. Key details like laundry access, pet policy, square footage, and broker fee status weren't provided, so you'll want to confirm all of these directly. At your viewing, check the condition of common areas and ask current tenants about heat reliability and building management responsiveness given the violation count.
