536 B'way
Composite verdict
This 95-year-old, 4-unit walk-up at 536 Broadway, Staten Island has 8 open HPD violations — 6 Class B (hazardous) and 2 Class A (non-hazardous) — with a C+ score of 68 and a landlord flagged for slow response. The most concerning detail is a Class B plaster/paint violation in Apt 2R that has been open for 2,824 days (nearly 8 years), which is a serious red flag about how SI Broadway Properties LLC handles repairs. On the positive side, the crime score is 94/A, the area is very quiet (only 4 noise complaints in 12 months), and there are no bedbug filings in the past 3 years. None of the 4 units are rent-stabilized.

- There is a Class B HPD violation in Apt 2R for broken/defective plastered surfaces that has been open for 2,824 days — nearly 8 years. What is the current status of that repair, and why has it gone unaddressed for so long?
- HPD records show 8 open violations total (6 Class B, 2 Class A) and flag the landlord's response as 'slow' — what is SI Broadway Properties LLC's current plan and timeline to close these violations?
- The building was built in 1931 and is 95 years old — what major systems (boiler, plumbing, electrical wiring, roof) have been updated, and can you provide documentation of those upgrades?
- 311 records show 7 rat complaints in the area — is there an active pest-control contract for the building, and when was the last treatment performed?
- The building has 0 rent-stabilized units out of 4 total — can you confirm the lease terms, any planned rent increases, and whether the unit has ever been subject to stabilization?
- Snow or ice complaints are the top 311 category in the area with 35 filings — who is responsible for clearing the building's entrance, steps, and sidewalk, and is that obligation spelled out in the lease?
- Inspect all walls and ceilings throughout the unit — and especially in any second-floor apartments — for cracked, peeling, or water-stained plaster, given the 8-year-old unresolved Class B violation for defective plastered surfaces in Apt 2R.
- Examine the building's common areas, stairwells, and exterior for signs of deferred maintenance consistent with a 1931 structure: rusted railings, deteriorating mortar, aging electrical panels, or evidence of water intrusion.
- Check the building entrance, front steps, and sidewalk condition for trip hazards or drainage issues — particularly relevant given 35 snow/ice 311 complaints nearby and the landlord's documented slow response to violations.

Who NYC Rent Actually Works For
Three NYC households earning $85,000, $150,000, and $300,000. Same city, same rent prices, three different mathematical realities. The question of whether renting in New York is "possible" depends entirely on which of the three is being described.
