760 50 Street
Composite verdict
HPD violation data is unavailable for this building — it has no HPD registration on file, which is unusual for a residential rental and warrants direct explanation from the landlord. Rent stabilization data is also unavailable, so stabilization status cannot be confirmed from public records. What the data does show: the building is a 2-floor, 4-unit walk-up built in 1935 (91 years old), held by CHEN-CAO IRREVOCABLE TRUST; the immediate area has a C+ crime grade (18 incidents, including 3 violent), moderate noise activity (32 complaints in 12 months, mostly residential), and a notably high volume of parking-related 311 complaints (160 of 476 total), dominated by 123 blocked driveway calls — suggesting street parking is a persistent friction point in this block.

- HPD has no registration on file for this building — can the landlord explain why, and can they provide documentation showing the building is legally registered or exempt from HPD registration requirements?
- Rent stabilization status cannot be confirmed from public records — is this unit rent-stabilized or rent-regulated in any way, and can the landlord provide a written statement or DHCR documentation confirming the unit's regulatory status?
- The building was constructed in 1935 and is 91 years old — what major systems (boiler, plumbing, electrical wiring, roof) have been updated, and can the landlord provide dates and documentation for those upgrades?
- 311 records show 123 blocked driveway complaints and 37 illegal parking complaints in the area — is there a dedicated parking space included with the unit, and how disruptive is the parking situation day-to-day?
- The noise data shows 32 complaints over the past 12 months with a C grade, predominantly residential in nature (20 of 32 calls) — what are the noise levels typically like between units in this 4-unit building, and how are noise disputes handled?
- The crime score is 71/100 (C+) with 3 violent incidents and criminal mischief appearing as the top offense category — what security measures are in place at the building entrance, and has there been any criminal activity on the property itself?
- Given the building's age of 91 years, inspect visible infrastructure closely: look for signs of aging plumbing (staining, corrosion around pipes), outdated electrical panels (fuse boxes rather than circuit breakers), and the condition of the boiler or heating system in common areas.
- Walk the stairwells, hallways, and building entrance carefully — in a 4-unit walk-up with no HPD registration on file, common-area maintenance is harder to verify remotely; check for water damage, peeling paint (a lead-paint concern in a pre-1978 building), and the condition of locks and the front door.
- Observe the immediate street and driveway situation during the visit — 123 blocked driveway complaints suggest this is an active, recurring issue; note whether the building has a driveway, how accessible it is, and how congested the block feels at the time of your showing.
