Repairs the city has ordered

  • Minor1 open order for a hazardous condition.

    Hazardous conditions — peeling paint, broken plaster, a door that won’t lock. The landlord gets 30 days.

    HPD violations, NYC Open Data

  • Minor1 open order for a minor problem.

    Minor problems, 90 days to fix. A handful in a large building is ordinary; a lot of them suggests repairs are not being kept up with.

    HPD violations, NYC Open Data

  • Medium4 open building-code violations with the Department of Buildings.

    These are about the building itself — construction, elevators, boilers, facades — rather than the flat you would live in.

    DOB violations, NYC Open Data

Heat and hot water

  • MediumTenants complained to 311 about heat or hot water 3 times in the last year.

    Landlords must keep heat on from 1 October to 31 May, and hot water all year. Complaints here are from tenants in this building, not from us.

    311 service requests, NYC Open Data

Pests

  • Health inspectors have not visited in the last two years.

    The health department inspects buildings on complaint and on patrol. No visit here in two years is not the same as no rats.

    Rodent inspections, NYC Open Data

Noise

  • 2 noise complaints to 311 in the last year.

    311 calls from this address. A busy street or a big building will always draw some — read the number against the size of the building.

The landlord

  • The owner is registered with the city, as required.

    Buildings with three or more flats must register with the city every year, naming someone reachable.

What's good here

  • Subway within a 10-minute walk

    Grand Av-Newtown is about a 6-minute walk (M, R).

  • Plenty of places to buy food

    52 licensed food stores within a 10-minute walk.

  • Lively for eating out

Reported crime is counted within 500 m over 12 months, from NYPD complaint data, and split into violent and property offences because busy commercial blocks record far more theft than quiet residential ones. We don’t reduce a neighborhood to a single score, and no apartment is ever hidden from you based on its area. Checked 18 days ago.
