Questions to ask the landlord

Built from this building's records. Bring them to the viewing or send them before you apply. You can bring these records up when you negotiate rent or repairs.

  • Is this apartment rent-stabilized, and can I see its rent history?

    PRA has no rent records yet. Rent stabilization limits how much rent can rise. Ask the landlord for the apartment's registered rent history; once you're the tenant, you can request it from NYS HCR yourself.

Living conditions

Violations are issued by inspectors. Complaints are what residents reported; a complaint alone does not mean a problem was found.

HPD housing code violations

No recordsHPD has no violations on record for this building.

Mice, rats, roaches and bedbugs

  • City rat inspectors checked this property 3 times since Oct 2023 and found no signs of rats. Official record
  • Residents made 1 call to 311 about rats since Oct 2023. Official record
Sources

Looks at records from 2023-10-27 on. Violations are what HPD inspectors found; rat inspections are the health department's checks of the property as a whole, not of one apartment; the bedbug filing is what the owner reported to HPD; complaints are what residents reported, and a complaint alone does not mean a problem was found. These overlap (a rat complaint usually leads to an inspection), so PRA never adds them together.

Derived by PRA Counted by PRA from 311 records. No “high” or “low” label is shown here; see “Compared with the neighborhood” near the top for how this building compares with others nearby.

Why am I seeing this?

Counts 311 HEAT/HOT WATER service requests whose created date falls in each heating season (October 1 to May 31). Each 311 request id is counted once. "Distinct days" counts calendar days with at least one request, since several tenants may call about the same outage. HPD's own complaint records overlap with 311 and are shown separately, never added to this count.

Know your rights

Rules that apply to renters across New York City, not findings about this building. Each one names the law or rule it comes from.

Every renter

  • Your landlord has to keep it livable

    Every lease in New York, written or spoken, comes with a promise that the apartment and shared areas are fit to live in and not dangerous to your health or safety. You can't sign that promise away.

    Official recordNY Real Property Law §235-b, checked Oct 19, 2026

  • Put repair problems on the record

    A complaint to the city (311 in NYC) creates a dated record and can lead to an inspection. Those records are what PRA shows.

    Official recordNYC HPD / 311, checked Oct 19, 2026

  • There's public money for repairs

    Owners can apply to city programs for repairs. J-51 lowers property taxes for renovating apartment buildings. HPD's lead program offers loans that can be forgiven, averaging $10,000 per apartment, for buildings built before 1960. Each program has its own rules.

    Official recordNYC Finance (J-51); NYC HPD owner resources, checked Oct 19, 2026

If your apartment is rent-stabilized

PRA can't tell yet which apartments are rent-stabilized. Ask the landlord, or check your lease.

  • Apartment upgrades have a limit

    If your apartment is rent-stabilized, the owner can raise the rent to pay for work inside it, up to $30,000 of work. That's at most about $179 a month. For a vacant apartment the state approved first, the limit is $50,000, at most about $347 a month. These increases are permanent.

    Official recordNY HCR Fact Sheet 26 (rules since Oct 17, 2024), checked Oct 19, 2026

  • Ask for the receipts

    If your apartment is rent-stabilized and your new rent includes an increase for apartment improvements, you can ask the owner for proof of the work by certified mail, when you're offered the lease or within 60 days of signing. The owner has 30 days to send it.

    Official recordNY HCR Fact Sheet 26, checked Oct 19, 2026

  • Building-wide upgrades: 2% a year at most

    If your apartment is rent-stabilized, the state can approve a rent increase for work on the whole building, like a new boiler or roof. It's capped at 2% a year and comes off the rent after 30 years.

    Official recordNY HCR Fact Sheet 24, checked Oct 19, 2026

Ask for a repair

Fill in the blanks for a polite, dated message to the owner or manager. It names the problems, points to the law and asks for a date.

Problems

Your message

Subject: Repair request for 71 Horatio Street

Hi [owner or manager's name], I'm writing about these problems in my apartment or the building at 71 Horatio Street: - [problem], since [date] Under New York law (Real Property Law §235-b), the apartment and shared areas have to be kept fit to live in. Please let me know by [date] when the repairs will be done. If cost is a concern, there are public programs for repairs, such as NYC Finance's J-51 tax benefit (https://www.nyc.gov/site/finance/property/benefits-j51.page) and HPD's repair loans (https://www.nyc.gov/assets/hpd/downloads/pdfs/services/property-owner-landlord-resources.pdf). I'm keeping a copy of this message. Thank you, [your name]

PRA doesn't send this or keep what you type. It stays on your device.

  • Send it in writing and keep a copy. A text or email has a date on it.
  • If nothing happens, you can file a complaint with 311, which creates a city record.
  • For the paperwork request, the rule is certified mail within 60 days of signing.

Connections link organizations to buildings only where a public record names them, such as a deed or an HPD registration. Another building that shares an owner name or managing agent is a lead worth checking, not proof that the same people control both. PRA compares exact organization names only, and only among buildings it has already retrieved.

Rent

Estimated rent

No estimate yet. Pick a size and RentCast will estimate the rent for it from nearby listings.

PRA can ask RentCast for a few estimates a month. Each one is saved here for everyone for 90 days.

Asking rents

Not yet availablePRA does not yet have a lawful source for asking rents. Listing sites' terms do not allow PRA to copy their data, and public records do not include rents.

When PRA has a lawful source, this section will show observed asking rents with their dates and sample sizes. An advertised price is not a signed lease or the rent a tenant pays.

Building or apartment?

Most public records describe the whole building, not one apartment. Building-level records still matter for every unit (heat, pests and building-wide repairs affect everyone), but only records that name this unit say anything specific about it.

Turnover

Not yet availableObserved listing turnover needs licensed listing data, which PRA does not have yet. PRA will not estimate turnover from other records, and listing activity alone would not show that a tenant moved out.
