- There are 12 open Class C (immediately hazardous) HPD violations in the building — can you provide a written list of all open violations and a timeline for resolving them before move-in?
- The most recent Class C violation is a hot water outage in Apt 1617 that has been open for 438 days — how is the landlord addressing this, and have there been building-wide hot water interruptions?
- HPD records flag the landlord's response as 'slow' — what is the standard process for submitting maintenance requests, and what is the typical response time for urgent repairs?
- Bedbugs have been reported in this building in each of the past 3 years (medium risk) — what is the building's current pest control protocol, and has your specific unit or floor been treated?
- 311 records show 297 noise complaints in the past 12 months, 198 of them residential in nature, earning an F noise grade — what floor and exposure is the unit on, and how is noise managed between apartments?
- Only 4 of 63 tracked units appear to be rent-stabilized — is the unit being offered rent-stabilized, and can you provide documentation of the unit's regulatory status and rent history?
- Test hot water pressure and temperature at every fixture in the unit — given the open Class C hot water violation that has sat unresolved for 438 days, this is the single most important physical check to make.
- Inspect hallways, stairwells, elevator interiors, and the lobby for signs of deferred maintenance: water stains, peeling paint, damaged flooring, or pest evidence (droppings, traps, shed skins) — the F HPD grade and slow landlord response suggest building-wide upkeep may be neglected.
- Visit the building on a weekday evening, not just during a daytime showing — the F noise grade driven by 198 residential noise complaints means you need to assess actual sound transmission between units and from the street at the times you'll actually be home.

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.

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.
