461 Dean Street
Composite verdict
461 Dean Street is a 32-floor, 363-unit luxury elevator building built in 2013, owned by USPA 461 DEAN, LLC. HPD data shows zero open violations across all classes and an A-grade landlord response rating — a genuinely strong record for a building this size. The most significant concern is noise: 311 records show 372 noise complaints in the past 12 months, earning an F grade for 'very high noise activity,' with 221 of those being residential noise complaints from within the building itself. Separately, 183 of 363 units are listed as rent-stabilized, which is worth clarifying before signing — specifically whether the unit you're being offered is one of them.

- HPD shows zero open violations and a fast landlord response rating — can you provide the maintenance request log for the past 12 months so I can verify response times on actual repair tickets?
- 311 records show 221 residential noise complaints in the past 12 months, earning an F noise grade — what soundproofing exists between units, and which floors or exposures tend to be quietest?
- 183 of the building's 363 units are listed as rent-stabilized — is the specific unit I'm being offered rent-stabilized, and if so, what is the current legal regulated rent?
- There were 153 HEAT/HOT WATER complaints in the 311 data for this area — has this building had any heat or hot water outages in the past two winters, and how were they resolved?
- Crime score is 69/100 (C+) with 4 violent incidents nearby including 3 felony assaults — what building security measures are in place (24-hour door staff, cameras, key-fob access to floors)?
- Illegal parking complaints total 1,211 in the area — does the building have a garage or reserved parking, and what are the rules and costs for residents who drive?
- Stand in the unit and listen for noise from adjacent units, hallways, and the street — the F-grade noise rating with 221 residential complaints suggests sound transmission between units is a real issue in this building; visit on a weekday evening when residents are home.
- Test the elevator bank during your visit: with 363 units across 32 floors, check wait times and whether all cars are operational, since elevator reliability is a critical quality-of-life factor in a building this size.
- Inspect the lobby, mail area, and common hallways for visible maintenance quality — even with zero HPD violations on record, physical condition of shared spaces signals how management actually maintains the property day-to-day.
