- City records show 2 open HPD violations, 1 immediately hazardous (Class C) at this building. Ask which are still unresolved in the unit and the landlord’s timeline to clear them.
- The oldest open violation on record dates to 2026 — why has it stayed open this long, and is it in or near this unit?
- City Buildings Department records show an open life-safety condition (e.g. unsafe building / hazardous facade) — what is it, and has it actually been resolved, not just re-filed?
- Confirm the condition behind the most recent open violation was actually repaired, not just marked closed: Abate the infestation consisting of roaches in the entire apartment.
- Confirm in person that the immediately-hazardous (Class C) conditions — typically heat, hot water, leaks, mold or pests — are genuinely fixed, not just marked closed.

No HPD lead-paint violations are on record for this building — no complaint or inspection was filed, which is not the same as the building being lead-free. Under NYC Local Law 1 (§27-2056.5), lead paint is presumed in multiple dwellings built before 1960; this building’s construction year isn’t available to say whether that presumption applies.
