2707 23 Avenue
Composite verdict
This 12-unit, 4-floor walk-up built in 2012 by PHILLIP 23 REALTY LLC has zero open HPD violations across all classes and a fast landlord-response record — a genuinely clean compliance picture for an active rental building. The entire building is rent-stabilized (all 12 of 12 units), which is a significant tenant protection to verify in your lease. The main concern flagged by the data is noise: 80 noise-related 311 calls in the past 12 months, split across residential (36), street/sidewalk (24), commercial (16), and vehicle (4) sources. Parking complaints dominate the broader 311 picture (315 of 642 total calls), suggesting street congestion is a persistent neighborhood issue.

- The noise data shows 80 noise complaints in the past 12 months — 36 residential, 24 street/sidewalk, 16 commercial, and 4 vehicle-related — what specific noise sources affect this building, and how is sound insulation between units?
- All 12 units are listed as rent-stabilized — can you provide the current legal regulated rent for this specific unit, and confirm it in writing before lease signing?
- There were 219 illegal parking and 96 blocked driveway complaints in the area over the past year — is there any dedicated parking available with this unit, and how does street parking typically work on this block?
- HPD shows zero open violations and a fast landlord-response record — can you share the maintenance request process and typical response time for non-emergency repairs in this building?
- The building was built in 2012 and is 14 years old — have any major systems (roof, boiler, plumbing, common-area mechanicals) required significant repairs or replacements since construction?
- Within 150 meters there were 3 NYPD incidents in the past 12 months (1 grand larceny, 1 harassment 2, 1 vehicle and traffic violation) — are there security cameras, a key-fob entry system, or other access controls on the building?
- Check soundproofing between units and from the street: stand quietly in the apartment and hallway during the showing to gauge noise bleed from neighbors and outside, given 80 noise complaints logged in the area over the past 12 months.
- Inspect common areas — lobby, stairwells, and mailbox area — for signs of deferred maintenance, water damage, or pest activity, even though HPD shows zero violations; a 14-year-old walk-up can show wear not yet captured in filings.
- Walk the immediate block at street level to assess the parking and traffic situation firsthand, given 315 parking-related 311 complaints; note proximity to any commercial establishments that generated the 16 commercial noise complaints.
