73 Metropolitan Oval
Composite verdict
73 Metropolitan Oval is a large 2,121-unit condo complex managed by Parkchester South Condominium Assoc. The most urgent concern is the HPD violation profile: 26 open violations including 7 Class C (immediately hazardous) and 19 Class B (hazardous), with landlord response rated slow. The most recent violation — a lead-based paint compliance certification issue — has been open for 667 days. Compounding this, 311 records show 918 complaints in the area over the past year, dominated by 400 heat/hot water complaints, 74 plumbing complaints, and 41 elevator complaints, suggesting systemic maintenance issues across the complex.

- HPD shows 7 Class C (immediately hazardous) and 19 Class B (hazardous) open violations, with landlord response rated slow — what is the current remediation plan and timeline for each open violation?
- The most recent HPD violation involves lead-based paint compliance certification and has been open for 667 days — can you provide documentation showing the unit has been tested and cleared for lead hazards?
- 311 records show 400 heat/hot water complaints in the past year across this complex — what is the heating system setup, and what is the documented response time when heat or hot water fails?
- There are 41 elevator-related 311 complaints in the past year for a building of 2,121 units — how many elevators serve the building, what is their maintenance schedule, and how often are they out of service?
- Rent stabilization data shows 246 units deregulated since 2007, with 310 currently stabilized out of 3,378 total — is the specific unit being offered stabilized, and can you provide the legal regulated rent history?
- 74 plumbing-related 311 complaints were filed in the past year — have there been any water damage, pipe failure, or mold incidents in or adjacent to this unit, and is there documentation of repairs?
- Test the heat and hot water directly at the showing — run the tap and check radiators or vents, given 400 heat/hot water 311 complaints in the past year and 19 open Class B HPD violations.
- Inspect the unit and any common hallways for signs of water damage, peeling paint, or deteriorating surfaces — the 667-day-open lead paint compliance violation makes this a priority, especially if children will live in the unit.
- Observe elevator condition and wait times in person — with 41 elevator 311 complaints logged and 2,121 units in the complex, elevator reliability is a practical daily concern worth assessing at the showing.
