250 Garfield Place
Composite verdict
HPD violation data is not available for this building — it may be exempt from HPD registration as a small 2-family structure, so the default health score of 100 is meaningless and should be ignored. Rent stabilization data is also unavailable, so you cannot verify rent history or deregulation through public records. What the data does show is favorable: a 135-year-old building (built 1891) with an A-grade crime score (2 incidents nearby, zero violent), low noise activity (B grade, 15 complaints in 12 months), no bedbug filings in 3 years, and no open lead violations — though the age of the building warrants a direct conversation about lead paint and infrastructure updates.

- HPD registration data is not on file for this building — can the owner AHUJA, KABIR provide documentation of any HPD inspection history, open violations, or a certificate of occupancy for the current use as a 2-family dwelling?
- The building was constructed in 1891, making it 135 years old — what major systems (boiler, plumbing, electrical wiring, roof) have been updated, and can you provide dates or documentation of those upgrades?
- Pre-1960 buildings carry a presumption of lead paint risk under NYC law — has a lead paint inspection been conducted, and will you provide the written disclosure and any remediation records before lease signing?
- Rent stabilization data is unavailable through public records for this BBL — is either unit currently rent-stabilized, and can you provide the rent history or DHCR registration records to confirm the legal regulated rent?
- 311 records show 61 parking-related complaints and 57 illegal parking calls in the area — is there dedicated parking available with the unit, and how difficult is street parking on this block day-to-day?
- There are 24 Water System complaints in the 311 data for the surrounding area — have there been any water pressure, pipe, or leak issues in this building specifically, and are there any known plumbing concerns in a structure this age?
- Inspect the visible infrastructure throughout the building — look for signs of aging in the plumbing (rust stains, slow drains), electrical (fuse box vs. circuit breakers, exposed wiring), and any evidence of water damage on ceilings or walls, given the building is 135 years old.
- Check all window frames, painted surfaces, and trim for peeling or chipping paint, particularly in older layers — in a building from 1891, lead paint is a serious possibility and visible deterioration is a red flag regardless of the open-violation count.
- Walk the block and surrounding streets at the time of your showing to assess the parking situation firsthand, and note the condition of the building's exterior, stoop, and entryway as a proxy for how actively the owner maintains the property.

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

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.

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.
