22 Hawthorne Street
Composite verdict
This building has a serious HPD violation profile that should give you significant pause: 205 open violations across 10 units — that's an average of 20+ violations per unit — including 71 Class C (immediately hazardous) and 94 Class B (hazardous) violations, earning an HPD score of 0 and an F grade. The landlord's response rate is flagged as slow, and the most recent violation is an active Class C mouse infestation in a second-floor unit filed just 6 days ago. On the positive side, the crime picture is relatively calm (A- grade, no violent incidents) and the neighborhood is walkable with good transit access, but the building's condition data is the dominant concern here.

- There are 205 open HPD violations across just 10 units — 71 of them Class C (immediately hazardous) — and your landlord response rate is flagged as slow. What is your specific plan and timeline for resolving these violations, and can you provide documentation?
- A Class C violation for mouse infestation was filed just 6 days ago in a second-floor unit. Has pest control been engaged, and what is the ongoing pest management protocol for the building?
- The 311 data shows 429 HEAT/HOT WATER complaints in the surrounding area over the past 12 months, the single largest complaint category. What is the heating system in this building, when was it last serviced, and have tenants in this building filed heat complaints?
- The noise section shows 342 noise complaints in the past 12 months with an F grade ('Very high noise activity'), including 181 residential noise complaints and 81 commercial noise complaints. What are the primary noise sources affecting this building, and how is sound insulated between units in this 1931 walk-up?
- The building was constructed in 1931 — 95 years ago. What major systems (boiler, plumbing, electrical, roof) have been updated, and can you provide documentation of those upgrades?
- The rent stabilization registry shows 0 stabilized units out of 4 registered units, with the building listed as 'Not registered as rent-stabilized.' Can you confirm the regulatory status of the specific unit being offered, and provide the lease terms and any applicable rent history?
- Inspect common areas, hallways, and the basement carefully for signs of active mouse or pest activity — droppings, gnaw marks, traps — given the open Class C infestation violation filed just 6 days ago in the building.
- Check the condition of plumbing fixtures, radiators, and windows in the unit itself, as the HPD record includes 94 Class B hazardous violations and the area's top 311 complaint category is HEAT/HOT WATER; look for rust stains, leaks, or non-functioning radiators.
- Walk the stairwells, lobby, and exterior of this 1931 three-floor walk-up for visible infrastructure wear: peeling paint or plaster (109 PAINT/PLASTER complaints in the area), water damage staining on ceilings or walls, and the condition of the building's entry security (intercom, locks, lighting).

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.
