- City records show 47 open HPD violations, 11 immediately hazardous (Class C) at this building. Ask which are still unresolved in the unit and the landlord’s timeline to clear them.
- The oldest open violation on record dates to 2018 — why has it stayed open this long, and is it in or near this unit?
- We found no DHCR rent-stabilization unit count for this building. 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.
- Confirm the condition behind the most recent open violation was actually repaired, not just marked closed: Provide hot water at all hot water fixtures in the entire apartment.
- Confirm in person that the immediately-hazardous (Class C) conditions — typically heat, hot water, leaks, mold or pests — are genuinely fixed, not just marked closed.

Building Condition
Oldest open violation: May 2018 · Most recent: October 2026. HPD marks a violation open until it is certified as corrected, so an old date can mean an unresolved condition or a repair that was never certified.
