7913 15 Avenue
Composite verdict
This is a 91-year-old, 3-unit walk-up in Brooklyn built in 1935, owned by XU, BINGXIN. The most pressing concern is the HPD record: 18 open violations (6 Class A) with an F grade and a 'slow' landlord response rating — and the most recent violation is a failure to file the mandatory annual bedbug report, which is a compliance red flag even though no actual bedbug infestations appear in the last 3 years. The building is not rent-stabilized. Crime in the area scores 71/100 (C+) with 13 nearby incidents including 3 felony assaults, and 311 quality-of-life volume is modest at 192 calls, dominated by illegal parking and tree complaints rather than building-condition issues.

- HPD shows 18 open violations with an F grade and a 'slow' landlord response rating — what is the current status of each open violation, and what is the timeline for resolving them before move-in?
- The most recent HPD violation is a failure to file the annual bedbug report as required by NYC law — why was this not filed, and can you provide documentation of the building's bedbug inspection history for all 3 units?
- All 6 Class A violations are currently open — Class A violations are non-hazardous but still legally required to be corrected; can you provide a written remediation plan with specific completion dates?
- The building was constructed in 1935 and is 91 years old — what major systems (boiler, plumbing, electrical wiring, roof) have been updated, and can you provide documentation of those upgrades?
- Crime data shows 3 felony assaults among 13 nearby incidents — what security measures are in place at the building (door locks, intercom, exterior lighting), and have there been any incidents inside or directly outside the building?
- The building is listed as not rent-stabilized across all 3 units — is there any pending regulatory change, and what is the basis for the current asking rent and any anticipated increases at renewal?
- Inspect the condition of the building's infrastructure given its 1935 construction: look for signs of aging plumbing (water stains, rust at fixtures), outdated electrical panels (fuse boxes vs. circuit breakers), and the condition of the boiler or heating system in common areas.
- Walk the full building — lobby, stairwells, hallways, and any basement or utility areas — looking for evidence of pest activity (droppings, traps, entry points) and any visible maintenance neglect that would be consistent with the 18 open HPD violations and slow landlord response rating.
- Check exterior entry points, door locks, intercom functionality, and exterior lighting at night or ask about nighttime conditions, given the 3 felony assaults recorded in the nearby crime data.

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.

The Sign in Your Lobby

The 99-Unit Pattern

A 311 call is data. It is not necessarily evidence.
New Yorkers made roughly 3.4 million calls to 311 last year. Renters increasingly use that data to assess buildings and neighborhoods before signing. The patterns are real. They do not always mean what they look like.
