564 St John's Place
Composite verdict
564 St. John's Place is an 8-floor, 193-unit elevator building built in 2015, with only 2 open HPD violations (1 Class A, 1 Class B) and a fast landlord response record — a relatively light complaint load for a building this size. The standout concern is noise: 388 noise-related 311 calls in the past 12 months, including 177 street/sidewalk complaints, 110 residential complaints, and 70 commercial complaints, placing this area in a high-noise category. Rent stabilization is a genuine asset here — 35 of 36 units are stabilized with zero deregulations since 2007, meaning your rent protections are intact. Crime within 150 meters is low (10 incidents total, 0 felonies, 0 violent incidents), though 1 shooting was recorded in the broader area in 2024 and the wider 300-meter radius shows 281 incidents.

- The open Class B violation (Apt 305, 3rd floor) cites inadequate electrical service and has been open 26 days — has this been repaired, and can you show the HPD closure record before lease signing?
- 311 data shows 115 HEAT/HOT WATER complaints in the area over the past 12 months — does this building have a history of heat or hot water outages, and what is the heating system setup?
- Noise complaints total 388 over the past 12 months — 177 from street/sidewalk sources and 110 residential — which floors and sides of the building tend to be quietest, and are windows double-paned?
- 35 of 36 units are listed as rent-stabilized with zero deregulations since 2007 — can you confirm in writing that the specific unit being offered is rent-stabilized and provide the current legal regulated rent?
- There was 1 shooting recorded within the area in 2024 and 281 total NYPD incidents within 300 meters — what building security measures are in place (key fob access, intercom, cameras, overnight staff)?
- The building was built in 2015 and has 193 units — what is the current status of the building's amenities (laundry, gym, roof, package room), and are there any planned assessments or fee increases tied to building operations?
- Test the noise environment directly: visit on a weekday evening and a weekend, and check units on lower floors and street-facing sides given 177 street/sidewalk noise complaints — listen for traffic, music, and neighbor noise through walls and windows.
- Inspect the lobby, elevator, and common hallways for maintenance quality — a 2015 building should show minimal wear, so scuffed walls, slow elevators, or broken fixtures would signal deferred upkeep inconsistent with the HPD record.
- Check the building entrance and intercom system in person — confirm key fob or controlled access is functioning, look for security cameras, and note whether the front door closes and latches securely given the area's 281 incidents within 300 meters.
