2007 Cortelyou Road
Composite verdict
This 113-year-old walk-up at 2007 Cortelyou Road has a serious HPD violation profile: 111 open violations across 24 units, including 62 Class C (immediately hazardous) and 38 Class B (hazardous), which is an average of roughly 4.6 open violations per unit. The top 311 complaint type in the surrounding area is HEAT/HOT WATER (256 calls), which aligns directly with the violation load and should be treated as a red flag heading into winter. On the positive side, all 24 units are rent-stabilized with zero deregulations since 2007, no bedbug infestations on record in the past three years, and no shootings recorded in the past 12 months — but the building's maintenance record is the dominant concern here.

- HPD shows 62 Class C (immediately hazardous) violations currently open — can you provide a written remediation plan and timeline for each, and confirm none affect the specific unit being offered?
- 311 data shows 256 HEAT/HOT WATER complaints in the area over the past 12 months, and HPD violations include hazardous-class items — what is the current state of the boiler, and when was it last serviced or replaced in this 1913 building?
- There are 90 PLUMBING and 75 PAINT/PLASTER 311 complaints in the area, consistent with the building's age and violation count — what plumbing and plastering work has been done in the unit and common areas in the past two years?
- The building is fully rent-stabilized with zero deregulations since 2007 — can you provide a copy of the current lease rider confirming rent-stabilized status, the legal regulated rent, and the preferential rent if applicable?
- HPD records show the landlord response rate is classified as 'normal' despite 111 open violations — how long have the Class C violations been open, and what is the typical response time when tenants submit maintenance requests?
- 92 UNSANITARY CONDITION complaints appear in the 311 data for the area — what pest control measures are in place for the building, and how frequently are common areas and trash areas cleaned?
- Inspect the unit and common areas for visible signs of the open violations: look for peeling paint or plaster, water stains on ceilings and walls indicating active leaks, and any evidence of mold — all consistent with the Class B and C violation load and the 311 plumbing and paint complaint volume.
- Check the building's heating infrastructure: feel radiators or baseboard units, ask to see the boiler room if possible, and note whether the hallways are adequately heated — 256 HEAT/HOT WATER complaints in the area make this a critical in-person check, especially given the building was constructed in 1913.
- Walk the stairwells, lobby, and trash areas carefully: note lighting quality, condition of handrails and steps in this 4-floor walk-up, and cleanliness of refuse areas — the 92 UNSANITARY CONDITION complaints and the building's age make common-area maintenance a meaningful indicator of how EAST 53RD STREET 781, LLC manages the property day-to-day.
