90 Nassau Street
Composite verdict
90 Nassau Street is a 126-year-old, 8-floor converted elevator building with only 7 units, owned by BERNART CAPITAL LLC. HPD shows 5 open violations including one Class C (immediately hazardous) and a Class B fire door deficiency at the 1st-floor stairwell that has been open 6 days — that fire door issue warrants a direct answer before signing. The building scores a B (77/100) on HPD with normal landlord response, no rent-stabilized units, and no bedbug filings in 3 years; however, the noise section grades an F with 125 complaints in 12 months (62 of them street/sidewalk noise), and the surrounding area carries a C-grade crime score driven heavily by petit larceny (57 incidents) and grand larceny (16 incidents) — consistent with a high-foot-traffic Lower Manhattan commercial corridor.

- There is an open Class B violation for a fire door leading to the public hall stairs at the 1st story — it has been open 6 days. What is the current status of that repair, and when will it be completed?
- HPD shows 1 open Class C (immediately hazardous) violation. What specifically is that violation, and what is the timeline for remediation?
- The noise section grades an F with 125 complaints in the past 12 months, 62 of them street/sidewalk noise — this is a Lower Manhattan commercial block. What soundproofing, if any, exists in the unit's windows and walls, and what have existing tenants reported about noise levels?
- Crime data shows 133 incidents nearby with a C grade, led by petit larceny (57) and grand larceny (16) — typical for a dense commercial area. What building security measures are in place: key fob or intercom access, lobby camera, package security?
- The building is not registered as rent-stabilized and has 0 stabilized units out of 7 total. Can you confirm in writing that the unit is market-rate, and provide the lease term and any renewal terms you offer?
- The building was built in 1900 and is 126 years old. What major systems — boiler, elevator, plumbing, electrical — have been updated, and can you provide documentation or approximate dates for those upgrades?
- Physically inspect the 1st-floor fire door cited in the open Class B violation: check that it closes and latches fully, has no visible damage, and that the stairwell it leads to is unobstructed — this is a life-safety item.
- Test the elevator operation and inspect the lobby, hallways, and stairwells for signs of deferred maintenance consistent with a 126-year-old converted building: water staining, cracked plaster, aging wiring conduits, or deteriorating common-area finishes.
- Stand at the unit's windows during the showing and assess street noise directly — 62 street/sidewalk noise complaints in 12 months is significant, and the actual sound level at the unit (especially lower floors) will tell you more than any data point.
