590 Manhattan Avenue
Composite verdict
This is a small, 2-unit, 3-floor building built in 1910 (116 years old) owned by Maria Dedza. HPD shows only 1 open violation — a Class A (non-hazardous) paperwork issue for a missing annual bedbug report, open just 9 days, and landlord response is logged as fast. No bedbug infestations on record in the past 3 years. Neither unit is rent-stabilized. The most notable concern is noise: 231 noise-related 311 calls in the past 12 months, dominated by 148 commercial noise complaints, suggesting nearby businesses are a persistent source of disturbance. Crime within 150 meters is low at 5 incidents total (2 felonies, including 1 robbery), with no shootings recorded in 2024.

- The only open HPD violation is a Class A notice for failing to file the annual bedbug report — has that report been filed, and can you share a copy before lease signing?
- 311 records show 148 commercial noise complaints and 45 residential noise complaints in the past 12 months — what commercial establishments are nearby, and how does noise from them affect the unit, particularly at night and on weekends?
- The building was constructed in 1910 and is 116 years old — what major systems (boiler, plumbing, electrical wiring, roof) have been updated, and can you provide documentation of those upgrades?
- Neither unit is registered as rent-stabilized — is the unit being offered at market rate, and has it ever been rent-stabilized or subject to any regulatory agreement?
- There was 1 robbery recorded within 150 meters in the past 12 months — what security measures are in place at the building entrance (locks, intercom, exterior lighting)?
- This is a 2-unit building with a single owner — what is the process for reporting and resolving maintenance issues, and what is the typical response time for non-emergency repairs?
- Given the building's 1910 construction, inspect visible infrastructure in the unit and common areas: look for signs of aging plumbing (rust stains, low water pressure), outdated electrical panels (fuse boxes rather than circuit breakers), and the condition of windows and exterior walls.
- Walk the immediate block and identify the commercial establishments generating 148 noise complaints — note their hours, proximity to the building's windows, and whether noise is audible inside the unit during the showing, especially if visiting during daytime (all 5 NYPD incidents in the area occurred during daytime hours).
- Check the building entrance, hallway, and stairwell: confirm that exterior door locks and intercom function properly, that common areas are well-lit, and that the stairwell condition is sound in a 3-floor walk-up of this age.
