90 Manhattann Avenue
Composite verdict
This 1931 walk-up at 90 Manhattan Avenue has 8 open HPD violations — including 2 Class C (immediately hazardous) and 1 Class B (hazardous) — and the landlord's response rate is flagged as slow, with the most recent violation open for 202 days. The building is not registered as rent-stabilized across its 9 units, so no tenant protections apply there. Noise is a real concern: 168 noise-related 311 calls in the past 12 months (73 street/sidewalk, 57 residential, 29 commercial) place this area in a high-noise category. Crime within 150 meters totals 32 incidents over the past year, led by dangerous drugs (6), harassment 2 (5), and grand larceny (5), with 11 felonies and no shootings recorded in 2024.

- There are 2 open Class C (immediately hazardous) HPD violations — what are they specifically, and what is the landlord's timeline to resolve them before lease signing?
- The most recent HPD violation (broken wood floor in Apt 5F) has been open for 202 days with a 'slow' landlord response rating — what is the process for getting repairs done, and how long do maintenance requests typically take?
- 311 records show 74 HEAT/HOT WATER complaints in the area over the past 12 months — has this building had heating or hot water outages, and how are they handled?
- The building is not registered as rent-stabilized across any of its 9 units — can you confirm in writing that this unit is market-rate, and provide the lease terms including any renewal rent increase caps?
- There were 168 noise-related 311 calls in the past 12 months, including 57 residential noise complaints — how is noise managed between units in this 5-floor walk-up, and what is the building's policy on noise disputes?
- The building was constructed in 1931 — what major systems (boiler, plumbing, electrical, roof) have been updated, and can you provide documentation of those upgrades?
- Inspect floors, walls, and ceilings in the unit and common areas for visible signs of deferred maintenance — given 8 open HPD violations and a slow landlord response record, look specifically for water damage, peeling paint, and structural wear consistent with a 95-year-old building.
- Walk all five floors and check stairwells, hallways, and the building entrance for lighting quality, intercom/lock condition, and general upkeep — the 32 NYPD incidents within 150 meters (including 6 drug-related and 5 grand larceny) make building security worth assessing directly.
- Visit at different times of day if possible, particularly evening, to gauge street and sidewalk noise levels — 73 street/sidewalk noise complaints and 57 residential noise complaints in the past year suggest this is a persistent issue, not an occasional one.
