30-30 Crescent Street
Composite verdict
This address — 30-30 Crescent Street, Astoria — is registered to 'R C CHURCH OF REDEEME,' is classified as a Class M1 building (a religious/institutional use type), was built in 1910, and shows zero residential units on record. HPD registration data is not available, and rent stabilization data is also unavailable. Before going any further, you should confirm with the landlord exactly what space is being offered, under what legal authority it can be rented as a residence, and whether a certificate of occupancy exists for residential use — because the public record does not support this address as a conventional residential rental.

- The building is classified as Class M1 (place of worship/institutional) with zero residential units on record — can the landlord provide a certificate of occupancy that explicitly authorizes residential use of the space being offered?
- The owner of record is 'R C CHURCH OF REDEEME' — who is the actual landlord or managing entity you would be signing a lease with, and what is their legal authority to rent this space?
- HPD registration data is not available for this building — can the landlord provide their HPD registration number or explain why the building is exempt from HPD registration?
- 311 records in the surrounding area show 158 HEAT/HOT WATER complaints in the past year — the highest complaint category nearby — how is heat and hot water supplied to the unit, and who is responsible for maintaining that system?
- The noise grade for this area is D ('High noise activity') with 87 noise complaints in the past 12 months, 63 of which are residential — what soundproofing or noise mitigation exists in the space, given the building dates to 1910?
- Rent stabilization data is unavailable because this BBL is not in the WoW database — can the landlord confirm in writing whether the unit is rent-stabilized, rent-controlled, or market-rate, and provide documentation to support that status?
- Inspect the space for any signage, fixtures, or layout that indicates it is not configured as a legal residential dwelling — look for proper kitchen facilities, a bathroom with a door, adequate egress windows, and a posted certificate of occupancy.
- Given the building was built in 1910 (116 years old), examine visible infrastructure closely: check for exposed or outdated wiring, signs of water damage or peeling paint on walls and ceilings, the condition of windows, and whether radiators or heating units are present and functional.
- Walk the immediate block and building exterior: note whether the surrounding area feels consistent with residential use, check that the building entrance is secure and well-lit, and observe whether the street-level environment matches the 24 nearby crime incidents (including 3 violent offenses and 5 assault-related charges) flagged in the crime data.
