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

“Closed” can mean the owner certified a repair, not that an inspector confirmed it.

Mice, rats, roaches and bedbugs

• City rat inspectors checked this property 3 times since Oct 2023 and found no signs of rats. Official record
• The owner reported no apartments with bedbugs from Nov 2024 to Oct 2025. Official record

Complaints to HPD

HPD receives many housing complaints through 311, so these overlap with the 311 counts below. PRA never adds the two together.

Complaints to 311

10 service requests since Dec 9, 2020, by category. They overlap with the HPD complaints above.

Categories such as “Heat and hot water” are PRA's grouping of each agency's own complaint types; the original type is kept on every record.

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.

• 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.

• 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.

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.

• 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.

• 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.

Rent

Asking 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.
