1 Sickles Street
Composite verdict
This 1929 elevator building at 1 Sickles Street carries 46 open HPD violations — 16 of them Class C (immediately hazardous) and 29 Class B (hazardous) — which is a serious maintenance red flag. The most recent violation involves mold in Apt A10 and has been open for 123 days despite the landlord's 'fast' response rating, suggesting follow-through is inconsistent. The surrounding area generated 531 HEAT/HOT WATER complaints and 619 noise complaints in the past 12 months, pointing to systemic building-wide issues rather than isolated incidents. Bedbug records are clean for the past 3 years, and the building has good transit access, but the HPD violation profile warrants careful scrutiny before signing.

- There are 16 open Class C (immediately hazardous) HPD violations — what specific conditions do they cover, and what is the landlord's timeline for resolving each one before lease signing?
- The most recent HPD violation is a mold trace-and-repair order in Apt A10 that has been open for 123 days — has the mold source been identified, and has any remediation been done in other units or common areas?
- 311 records show 531 HEAT/HOT WATER complaints in the area over the past 12 months — is the building's boiler system on a maintenance contract, and how many heat outages occurred last winter?
- Seven units have been deregulated since 2007, reducing the stabilized count from 15 to 8 out of 16 tracked units — is the unit being offered rent-stabilized, and can you provide documentation confirming its regulatory status?
- There were 29 open Class B (hazardous) violations alongside the Class C ones — can you provide a full list of all open violations by unit and common area so the scope of deferred maintenance is clear?
- 619 noise complaints were filed in the past 12 months, with 322 classified as residential — what soundproofing or building rules are in place to manage noise between units in this 6-floor, 134-unit elevator building?
- Inspect the hallways, stairwells, and any visible walls or ceilings for water staining, peeling paint, or mold — the open mold violation and 114 Water System 311 complaints suggest moisture issues may extend beyond Apt A10.
- Test the heat and hot water in the unit during your visit — run the tap and check radiator function — given 531 area HEAT/HOT WATER complaints and 16 Class C violations, these systems deserve hands-on verification.
- Check the elevator, lobby intercom, and building entry points for condition and security — the building was built in 1929 and is 97 years old, and visible infrastructure wear in common areas is a reliable indicator of overall maintenance standards.
