170 East 87 Street
Composite verdict
HPD violation data is not available for this building — it has no HPD registration on file, which is common for condos and may mean it's exempt from standard HPD tracking. Rent stabilization data is also unavailable, so neither the landlord's maintenance track record nor any stabilization history can be assessed from public records. What the data does show is a D-grade crime score (48/100) driven heavily by property crime — 159 petit larceny and 29 grand larceny incidents nearby — and a D-grade noise environment with 75 complaints in the past 12 months spread across commercial, vehicle, street, and residential sources. The building itself is a 28-floor, 229-unit condo built in 1991 with no bedbug filings in the past 3 years and excellent transit and walkability.

- Crime data shows 159 petit larceny and 29 grand larceny incidents nearby — what building security measures are in place (key-fob access, package room, lobby cameras, doorman hours) to protect residents and deliveries?
- Noise complaints in the past 12 months total 75, graded D ('High noise activity'), with commercial and vehicle noise each accounting for 20 complaints — which floors and sides of the building face the street or commercial activity, and how is the unit you're showing positioned relative to those sources?
- 311 records show 152 'Homeless Person Assistance' calls and 76 'Panhandling' calls in the area — what does the immediate block and building entrance look like on a typical day, and how does management handle access to the lobby?
- HPD registration data is not on file for this building — can the landlord or management company provide documentation of the building's maintenance history, open work orders, and any capital improvements made in the past 5 years?
- The building is a condo built in 1991 (35 years old) with 28 floors — what is the status of major building systems such as the elevators, HVAC, and plumbing, and when were they last serviced or replaced?
- Rent stabilization data is unavailable for this BBL — is the unit being offered as a market-rate rental, and can the landlord confirm in writing whether the unit has ever been rent-stabilized or subject to any regulatory agreements?
- Check the lobby and building entrance for security infrastructure — working intercom, camera coverage, controlled access points, and package handling — given the D-grade crime score and 188 property crime incidents nearby.
- Walk the perimeter and note proximity to commercial establishments and street traffic on all sides of the building, since noise complaints are split across commercial (20), vehicle (20), street/sidewalk (17), and residential (18) sources — ask which exposure the specific unit faces.
- Inspect common areas (hallways, stairwells, elevator cabs) for signs of deferred maintenance — water stains, worn finishes, aging fixtures — since HPD records are unavailable and the building is 35 years old with no public maintenance history to review.

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.

The Sign in Your Lobby
A new sign appeared in the lobby of every NYC building with at least one rent-stabilized unit this winter. The text is unremarkable. The thing the sign does not say is the more interesting story.

The 99-Unit Pattern
In the past two years, NYC developers have filed permits for more than 150 residential buildings with one thing in common: each has exactly 99 apartments. The number is not coincidence. It is a tax break threshold — and it is changing what gets built across the city.

NYC Is No Longer One Housing Market
On a Sunday in Bay Ridge, a detached house drew nine offers in four days. Forty minutes away in Downtown Brooklyn, a condo sat on the market for two months. Both are part of the same NYC housing market. Increasingly, they behave like different economies.

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.
