- City records show 14 open HPD violations, 5 immediately hazardous (Class C) at this building. Ask which are still unresolved in the unit and the landlord’s timeline to clear them.
- The oldest open violation on record dates to 2023 — why has it stayed open this long, and is it in or near this unit?
- We found no DHCR rent-stabilization unit count for this building. That is not the same as the building being market-rate — a registration can be on file with no unit figure, or not have been filed at all. Ask the landlord directly whether the unit is rent-stabilized, and request your own rent history from DHCR.
- City Buildings Department records show an open life-safety condition (e.g. unsafe building / hazardous facade) — what is it, and has it actually been resolved, not just re-filed?
- Confirm the condition behind the most recent open violation was actually repaired, not just marked closed: Replace or repair the self-closing doors that is missing or defective latch at public hall.
- Confirm in person that the immediately-hazardous (Class C) conditions — typically heat, hot water, leaks, mold or pests — are genuinely fixed, not just marked closed.
875 Pennsylvania Avenue sits in Brooklyn, ZIP 11207. No subway stations are within an 800-meter walk — expect to rely on buses or rideshare.
Building Condition
Oldest open violation: October 2023 · Most recent: September 2026. HPD marks a violation open until it is certified as corrected, so an old date can mean an unresolved condition or a repair that was never certified.

No HPD lead-paint violations on record. Built 1966. For buildings built between 1960 and 1978, Local Law 1 applies where the owner knows lead-based paint is present — there is no automatic pre-1960 presumption. Lead paint in residential use was federally banned in 1978.
