47-10 Vernon Boulevard
Composite verdict
The most pressing issue at 47-10 Vernon Boulevard is a single open Class C (immediately hazardous) HPD violation for a broken upper window sash that has been open for 14,913 days — roughly 40 years — without resolution. That is an extraordinary lapse and warrants a direct explanation from the landlord before signing anything. Beyond that, the building scores B+ on HPD overall with no Class A or B violations, and the neighborhood crime score is 80/B. The 311 data shows 34 Water System and 26 Sewer complaints in the area, which is worth probing given the building's age of 95 years.

- There is one open Class C HPD violation — a broken upper window sash on the 2nd floor front south apartment — that has been open for 14,913 days (approximately 40 years). Why has this never been resolved, and will it be corrected before move-in?
- The building was built in 1931 and is 95 years old. What major systems — boiler, plumbing, electrical, roof — have been updated, and can you provide documentation of those upgrades?
- 311 records show 34 Water System complaints and 26 Sewer complaints in the immediate area. Has this building experienced any water pressure issues, pipe leaks, or sewer backups, and are there any known infrastructure problems?
- The noise data shows 38 complaints over the past 12 months with a C grade (moderate noise activity), split between residential (16) and street/sidewalk (13) sources. How is noise managed between units, and what can you tell me about the typical noise environment on Vernon Boulevard?
- The building is not registered as rent-stabilized and shows 0 stabilized units out of 6 total. Can you confirm the regulatory status of this unit in writing, and clarify whether it has ever been rent-stabilized?
- There are 61 illegal parking complaints in the area. Is there any dedicated parking available with this unit, and what is the typical street parking situation on this block?
- Locate the 2nd floor front south apartment window referenced in the open Class C violation and confirm whether the broken upper sash is still unrepaired — this is the single most concrete, documented deficiency in the building.
- Given the building's 1931 construction, inspect visible infrastructure in common areas: look for signs of water damage, staining on ceilings or walls, condition of plumbing fixtures in hallways, and the state of the boiler room if accessible — the Water System and Sewer 311 complaints make this especially relevant.
- Walk the block and surrounding streets at the time of day you would typically come and go — the crime data flags 4 harassment incidents and 1 robbery nearby, and the daytime-to-nighttime crime ratio is 53%, meaning incidents are fairly evenly split. Assess lighting, foot traffic, and building entry security (intercom, locks, camera coverage).
