150 Bennett Avenue
Composite verdict
150 Bennett Avenue is an 85-year-old, 6-floor elevator building with 152 units built in 1941. HPD shows zero open violations across all classes and a fast landlord response record — a genuinely strong maintenance signal. The main concern flagged by the data is noise: 125 residential noise complaints in the past 12 months earn the building area a 'Very high noise activity' rating, with 98 of those complaints classified as residential in origin, meaning the noise is largely coming from within buildings rather than the street. Rent stabilization data is unavailable for this address, so stabilization status cannot be assessed and must be confirmed directly with the landlord.

- 311 records show 98 residential noise complaints in the past 12 months — the highest noise sub-category for this area — what soundproofing or noise policies exist between units, and how does management handle noise complaints?
- Rent stabilization data is not available for this address — is this unit rent-stabilized or rent-regulated, and can you provide documentation (DHCR registration or lease rider) confirming the unit's regulatory status?
- The area logged 76 HEAT/HOT WATER 311 complaints in the past 12 months — has this building had any heating or hot water outages, and when was the boiler last serviced or replaced?
- The building was constructed in 1941 — what major systems (elevator, plumbing, electrical, roof) have been updated, and can you provide documentation of those upgrades?
- There were 5 felony incidents within 150 meters in the past 12 months, including 3 Grand Larceny offenses — what building security measures are in place, such as key-fob entry, intercom, lobby cameras, or a doorman?
- There were zero bedbug infestation filings in the past 3 years — has the building had any pest issues beyond bedbugs (e.g., rodents or cockroaches), and what is the current extermination schedule?
- Test the elevator operation and inspect the lobby, hallways, and stairwells for signs of deferred maintenance — given the building's 1941 construction, look specifically for aging infrastructure like exposed wiring, water staining on ceilings, or worn common-area finishes.
- Listen carefully for noise from adjacent units and the street during the showing, particularly during daytime hours — 98 residential-origin noise complaints in 12 months suggests the building's internal sound insulation may be limited; knock on walls and check window seals.
- Check the building's mail area, package room, and front entrance security — given 3 Grand Larceny incidents within 150 meters in the past year, confirm whether there is a secure package system, functioning intercom, and controlled lobby access.
