110 Livingston Street
Composite verdict
This 100-year-old, 17-floor, 299-unit condo at 110 Livingston Street has a moderate HPD record (B+ grade, 4 open Class B violations, no Class A or C), but one of those violations has been open for 5,140 days — over 14 years — which is a serious red flag about how the building handles repairs. The crime picture is concerning: a score of 35/100 with an F grade, 113 nearby incidents including 39 violent offenses, predominantly felony assault. The building is not rent-stabilized, so there are no regulatory caps on rent increases. Bedbug history is clean with no infestations in the past 3 years.

- HPD records show a Class B violation for a broken wood floor in Apt 15I that has been open for 5,140 days — over 14 years. Why has this not been resolved, and what does that say about how the building handles maintenance requests generally?
- The crime score is 35/100 (F grade) with 39 violent offenses nearby, including 38 felony assaults. What security measures are in place — door locks, intercom, cameras, staffed entrance — and have there been any incidents inside the building itself?
- 75% of the 113 nearby crime incidents occur during daytime hours. Is the building staffed or monitored during the day, and what access controls exist for the lobby and common areas?
- 311 records show 29 HEAT/HOT WATER complaints in the area and 31 Maintenance or Facility complaints. Has this building had heat or hot water outages in the past two winters, and what is the typical response time for maintenance issues?
- The building was built in 1926 and is now 100 years old. What major systems — boiler, plumbing, electrical, elevator — have been updated, and can you provide documentation of those upgrades?
- The building is registered as a condo with 299 units and is not rent-stabilized. What is the ownership structure of the unit being offered — is it investor-owned — and what lease protections or renewal terms are being offered?
- Inspect the lobby, hallways, and elevator closely for signs of deferred maintenance — given the 14-year-old open HPD violation and the building's age of 100 years, look for water staining, damaged flooring, peeling paint, or aging infrastructure that suggests systemic neglect.
- Test the building's entry security at the showing: check whether the front door requires a key or fob, whether the intercom is functional, and whether there is a staffed desk or camera coverage — particularly important given the F-grade crime score and 39 violent offenses nearby.
- Walk the block and immediate surroundings at the time of day you would typically come and go: 388 of the 840 nearby 311 complaints are for illegal parking, and 33 are for-hire vehicle complaints, which can indicate congestion and street-level disorder worth observing firsthand.

Who NYC Rent Actually Works For
Three NYC households earning $85,000, $150,000, and $300,000. Same city, same rent prices, three different mathematical realities. The question of whether renting in New York is "possible" depends entirely on which of the three is being described.

A 311 call is data. It is not necessarily evidence.
New Yorkers made roughly 3.4 million calls to 311 last year. Renters increasingly use that data to assess buildings and neighborhoods before signing. The patterns are real. They do not always mean what they look like.
