- City records show no open HPD violations under 279 West 117 Street — the address HPD files this building’s records under, not the address on this page — ask what was most recently repaired and how maintenance requests are handled, since a clean record isn’t a guarantee of upkeep.
- DHCR’s most recent registration lists 138 rent-stabilized units here. Ask whether this specific unit is one of them, and ask the landlord for its legal regulated rent and lease history.
