31-22 Steinway Street
Composite verdict
HPD violation data is not available for this building — it appears to be a Class K2 commercial property (2 floors, 0 residential units on record) owned by NASO 126 LLC, built in 1920, so standard residential HPD registration may not apply. Rent stabilization data is also unavailable. The noise picture is the most pressing concern: despite only 52 noise-related 311 calls, the noise section carries a D grade labeled 'High noise activity,' with residential, street/sidewalk, and commercial noise all present — consistent with a busy commercial corridor on Steinway Street. Crime scores a B (77/100) with 30 incidents nearby, dominated by petit larceny (12) and harassment (7), and 87% of incidents occur during daytime hours.

- The noise grade is D ('High noise activity') with 23 residential noise complaints, 13 street/sidewalk, and 11 commercial in the past 12 months — what soundproofing or insulation exists between units and street-facing walls in a 1920 building on a commercial corridor?
- The building is listed as Class K2 with 0 residential units on record — can you confirm the legal use of the space being rented, provide the certificate of occupancy, and clarify whether it has been converted or is permitted for residential occupancy?
- HPD registration data is not on file for this building — can you provide the HPD registration number or documentation of any applicable exemption, and share a written maintenance log for the past 12 months?
- The building was constructed in 1920 (106 years old) — what major systems such as plumbing, electrical, heating, and the roof have been updated, and when were those updates completed?
- There are 117 HEAT/HOT WATER 311 complaints in the surrounding area — who is responsible for heat and hot water in this unit, and what is the landlord's documented response process if service fails?
- Rent stabilization data is unavailable for this BBL — can you confirm in writing whether this unit is or is not rent-stabilized, and provide the legal regulated rent if applicable?
- Inspect the windows, walls, and any street-facing surfaces for soundproofing quality — the D noise grade and location on a commercial stretch of Steinway Street suggest significant ambient noise; check whether windows are single-pane and whether there are gaps around frames in this 1920 structure.
- Examine the visible infrastructure throughout the unit and common areas: look for signs of aging plumbing (rust stains, slow drains), outdated electrical panels (fuse boxes, knob-and-tube wiring), and the condition of radiators or heating units given the 117 nearby HEAT/HOT WATER complaints.
- Walk the block and immediate surroundings during the time of day you'd typically be home — 87% of the 30 nearby crime incidents occur during daytime, petit larceny is the top offense (12 incidents), and Steinway Street has heavy foot and vehicle traffic; assess street lighting, building entry security (intercom, locks, cameras), and parking conditions given 429 illegal parking complaints nearby.
