Building is alright but the landlord is not very responsive. He can go days on end without responding and the super intendant doesn't show much urgency either when something needs fixing.
Complaints tenants filed with 311, and repairs a City inspector has asked for. Most repairs are routine maintenance. Both describe the building rather than the people in it, and often predate the current management.
Problems here get fixed quickly, a median of 2 days from complaint to close, faster than the 4-day neighborhood median.
Complaints are down from 6 to 1 year on year.

Outstanding with HPD
The City took this building's owner to Housing Court 1 time since October 2023.
A case is a filing, not a finding. Cases are settled, withdrawn and dismissed, and most end without a judgment either way.

The company’s record across its other buildings, not this building’s. A company can run one well and another badly, and these figures often predate the current management. (HPD and 311, as of 28 September 2026.)
