Heat and hot water

    311 service requests, NYC Open Data

Pests

  • Health inspectors visited 1 time in the last two years and found no rat activity.

    This is the health department turning up in person and looking. Separate from the violations below, which are written orders to the landlord.

    Rodent inspections, NYC Open Data

  • No pest violations or bedbug reports on record.

Noise

  • No noise complaints to 311 from this building 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

Things to know

  • Watch your bag

    221 property felonies within 500 m over the last 12 months, mostly grand larceny — typical of busy commercial blocks with heavy daytime footfall.

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.
