- City records show 4 open HPD violations at this building. Ask which are still unresolved in the unit and the landlord’s timeline to clear them.

That is not the same as the building being market-rate — a registration can be on file with no unit figure, or not have been filed at all. Ask the landlord directly whether the unit is rent-stabilized, and request your own rent history from DHCR.
