2914 Gerritsen Avenue
Composite verdict
This is a 1-family attached home at 2914 Gerritsen Avenue, built in 1965 (61 years old), owned by Robert S. Foley. HPD violation data is unavailable — the building has no HPD registration on file, which is common for single-family homes exempt from registration requirements, so that dimension cannot be assessed. Rent stabilization data is also unavailable. What the data does show is a very quiet immediate environment (zero noise complaints in 12 months, zero violent incidents, 3 total NYPD incidents in the past year within 150 meters), no bedbug filings in the past 3 years, and no open lead violations — but the neighborhood scores poorly on walkability, with no grocery stores, pharmacies, or cafes within 800 meters and no subway stops nearby, so car or bus dependency is a real practical consideration.

- The building was built in 1965 and is 61 years old — can you provide documentation or describe when major systems (boiler/heating, plumbing, electrical panel, roof) were last updated or replaced?
- HPD registration data is not available for this building — can you provide a copy of the certificate of occupancy and confirm the legal use of the unit being rented?
- 311 records show 11 'Snow or Ice' complaints and 7 'Street Light Condition' complaints in the area — who is responsible for sidewalk snow removal and exterior lighting at this property, and is that spelled out in the lease?
- There are 12 parking-related 311 calls (illegal parking, abandoned vehicles) in the area — is dedicated parking included, and what are the realistic parking conditions on the block day-to-day?
- Rent stabilization data is not in the WoW database for this BBL — can you confirm the legal rent, the lease terms, and what protections or renewal rights apply to this tenancy?
- There are no grocery stores, supermarkets, pharmacies, or cafes within 800 meters — what is the nearest option for daily errands, and is there reliable bus service given the absence of any nearby subway stops?
- Given the building's 1965 construction, inspect visible infrastructure at the showing: check the condition of the electrical panel (look for fuse boxes vs. circuit breakers), water pressure at faucets, any signs of water staining on ceilings or walls indicating plumbing or roof issues.
- Walk the block and surrounding streets to assess the parking situation firsthand, note street lighting levels at night if possible, and observe sidewalk and curb conditions — the 11 snow/ice complaints suggest this may be a recurring maintenance concern.
- Check the nearest bus stop location and frequency, and note the distance to the closest grocery or pharmacy — the amenity data shows a 'D' walkability grade with zero grocery or pharmacy options within 800 meters, so verify what the realistic daily-errand commute looks like.
