Rent regulation
Not on the rent-stabilized list
Not found in the DOF tax-bill records nor the 2024 DHCR registered building list. Absence isn't proof a unit is unregulated — buildings can be missing or newly deregulated.
No public data says which specific apartment is stabilized.
Registration counts apply to the building, not to unit numbers. To confirm your own apartment, request your rent history from New York State Homes and Community Renewal — it is free and takes a few weeks.
The owner's unpaid property taxes (and possibly water charges) went unresolved through a series of notices, and the debt reached the city's Final Sale list — the lien was sold to a private collector who can add interest and fees.

From DOF lien-sale lists (2019–2025). Financial distress is not proof of neglect, but owners behind on what they owe the city more often let repairs slide. Debt may since have been paid.

Lost by default
DOB violations adjudicated by OATH carry money penalties. "Lost by default" means the owner never appeared at the hearing. An unpaid balance is a stronger "ignoring the city" signal than a raw violation count.
Complaints record what a tenant reported, not a finding by the city. "Closed" often means the inspector could not gain access.
Concern level4 of 4
Severe
019 open class-C HPD violations (immediately hazardous) across 8 apartments
02Tax lien sold at the city's lien sale — a sign of financial distress
How this is set: open hazardous violations measured against the building's size, then raised by strong distress signals — HPD's enforcement program, court harassment findings, recent evictions, unpaid DOB fines, open housing-court cases, and a sold tax lien. Neighborhood noise and crime are not part of it. It describes the public record, not the condition of any one apartment, and a quiet record is not proof of a good building.

NYPD complaints reported within about 1,000 ft (a few blocks) in the last year, by severity. This reflects what gets reported and where police are active as much as actual safety, and busier, denser, higher-foot-traffic blocks log more. Locations are approximate — the NYPD shifts each report to the nearest corner for privacy — so read this as rough context, not a safety score.

311 noise complaints within about 1,000 ft (a few blocks) in the last year. Most reports here are about noise from inside buildings — neighbors, not the street. This counts how often people call 311, which tracks how densely populated and busy an area is as much as how loud it is — it is not a sound measurement.
