470 4 Avenue
Composite verdict
470 4th Avenue is a relatively new 12-floor elevator building (built 2015) with a strong HPD score of 95/A and only 1 open violation — but that single Class B violation involves mold at a 2nd-floor public hallway ceiling and has been open for 2,447 days (nearly 7 years), which is a serious red flag regardless of the overall grade. Crime in the area scores 90/A- with zero violent incidents and only 15 total nearby offenses. The noise picture is more concerning: the building earned a D grade for noise activity, driven primarily by 43 residential noise complaints in the past 12 months, and the area also logged 31 HEAT/HOT WATER 311 calls — worth probing given the building's age and the mold violation.

- The one open HPD violation is a Class B mold condition at the 2nd-floor public hallway ceiling that has been open for 2,447 days — nearly 7 years — despite a fast landlord-response rating. What is the current status of that repair, and why has it remained unresolved since 2019?
- 311 records show 31 HEAT/HOT WATER complaints in the area over the past year. Has this building had any heat or hot water outages, and what is the protocol when the boiler or hot water system goes down?
- The noise grade for this building is D, with 43 residential noise complaints in the past 12 months. What floor is the unit on, and what soundproofing or noise mitigation exists between units in this building?
- 18 of the building's units are listed as rent-stabilized out of 50 reported in the rent stabilization data. Is the unit being offered rent-stabilized, and if so, can you provide the current legal regulated rent and the prior tenant's rent?
- Bedbugs records show 1 infestation filing in the past 3 years (low risk). Which unit or area was affected, what treatment was done, and what is the building's current pest-control protocol?
- The building is owned by ELEVENTH-SB LLC. Who is the day-to-day property manager, how are maintenance requests submitted, and what is the typical response time for in-unit repairs?
- Go to the 2nd-floor public hallway and inspect the ceiling where the mold violation was filed — look for active staining, discoloration, peeling paint, or any signs of ongoing moisture intrusion, even if a patch has been applied.
- Walk the common areas (lobby, elevator, stairwells, mailroom) and check for water damage, musty odors, or visible infrastructure issues — a 2015 building should show minimal wear, so anything notable is worth flagging.
- Visit the block at different times of day given the D noise grade and 43 residential noise complaints — listen for noise bleed between units, street-level activity from the 122 illegal parking complaints, and proximity to any commercial tenants in the ground-floor retail space.
