31-12 30 Street
Composite verdict
This is an unusual listing to evaluate as a rental. The building at 31-12 30th Street is a 2-floor, Class M1 structure built in 1965, owned by 'ORDER-ST BASIL THE GR' — likely a religious or institutional organization — with zero residential units on record. HPD registration data is not available, which is consistent with a non-residential or exempt building, and rent stabilization data is also unavailable. Before going further, the most important question is whether this space is legally permitted for residential occupancy at all.

- The building is listed as Class M1 with zero residential units on record — can the landlord provide a current Certificate of Occupancy confirming the space is legally approved for residential use?
- HPD registration data is not available for this building, which is common for institutional or exempt properties — can the landlord provide documentation of the building's registration status and any applicable exemptions?
- The owner of record is 'ORDER-ST BASIL THE GR,' which appears to be a religious or institutional entity — what is the legal structure of the tenancy, and who is the responsible party for maintenance and repairs?
- 311 records show 421 parking-related complaints in the area over the past year, including 228 for illegal parking and 193 for blocked driveways — is there dedicated parking available, and how is access to the building managed?
- The noise grade for this location is F ('Very high noise activity'), with 52 street/sidewalk noise complaints and 40 residential noise complaints in the past 12 months — what soundproofing or noise mitigation exists in the unit?
- Rent stabilization data is unavailable because the BBL is not in the WoW database — can the landlord confirm in writing whether this unit is subject to any form of rent regulation, and what governs allowable rent increases?
- Confirm the posted Certificate of Occupancy on-site — look for whether the space is designated residential, commercial, or mixed-use, since the building's Class M1 classification and zero unit count raise a real question about legal habitability.
- Walk the block at the time of day you'd typically be home: the area logged 52 street/sidewalk noise complaints and 193 blocked-driveway complaints in the past year, so assess actual street noise levels and whether building access is routinely obstructed.
- Inspect the building's common areas, mechanical systems, and unit infrastructure closely — the structure is 61 years old, HPD inspection history is unavailable, and there is no public record of recent maintenance or system upgrades to rely on.
