201 Eastern Parkway
Composite verdict
201 Eastern Parkway is a 102-year-old, 6-floor elevator building with a serious HPD violation profile: 41 open violations including 8 Class C (immediately hazardous) and 22 Class B (hazardous), and the most critical open violation — a lead-based paint hazard — has been sitting unresolved for 1,105 days. The 311 record adds to the concern: 115 HEAT/HOT WATER complaints rank as the second-highest complaint type in the area, and the building has a medium bedbug risk with 9 infested units reported in the last 3 years. On the positive side, 34 of 36 tracked units appear rent-stabilized with zero deregulations since 2007, the subway is a 2-minute walk, and the immediate crime picture is relatively modest at 25 incidents within 150 meters over the past 12 months.

- There is an open Class C HPD violation for lead-based paint that has been unresolved for 1,105 days — what is the current remediation plan, and why has it not been corrected after three years?
- There are 41 total open HPD violations including 8 Class C (immediately hazardous) and 22 Class B (hazardous) — can you provide a written timeline for resolving each of these before lease signing?
- 311 records show 115 HEAT/HOT WATER complaints in the area over the past 12 months — what is the building's heating system, when was the boiler last serviced, and how many heat outages occurred last winter?
- 9 units in the building were reported as bedbug-infested in the last 3 years (medium risk level) — what is the building's current pest-control protocol, and has the specific unit being offered had any bedbug history?
- The building was constructed in 1924 — beyond the boiler, what major systems (elevator, plumbing, electrical) have been updated, and can you provide documentation of those upgrades?
- 34 of 36 tracked units appear rent-stabilized with zero deregulations since 2007 — can you confirm in writing whether this specific unit is rent-stabilized, and provide the legal regulated rent and rent history?
- Inspect the walls, window frames, and door frames in the unit and common areas for peeling, chipping, or deteriorating paint — the open Class C lead-based paint violation that has been unresolved for 1,105 days makes this a priority physical check.
- Test the elevator operation and inspect the lobby, hallways, and stairwells for signs of deferred maintenance — in a 102-year-old building with 41 open violations, common-area infrastructure condition is a direct indicator of how the landlord manages the property.
- Check radiators and hot water in the unit during the showing — run the tap, feel the radiators if the heat is on, and ask neighbors in the hallway about reliability, given 115 HEAT/HOT WATER complaints logged in the area over the past year.
