Buildings with low open violation rates near 36 St station in NYC

It’s a building-level signal based on open violation information in public NYC records. Lower rates help you prioritize what to review first, but they do not guarantee conditions are current or problem-free.

No. Open-violation signals reflect what’s recorded as open, which can lag real-world conditions. Always verify with the building and review the most recent details tied to the record.

Use it to shortlist buildings, then review renter notes and any Q&A topics that match your concerns (repairs, pests, common areas). Bring a short question list to your tour so you can get consistent answers across buildings.

Confirm the practical basics: current maintenance process, whether any recent complaints relate to what you saw in records or in Q&A, and what documents or disclosures you’ll receive before move-in.

Not usually. Open-record signals may reflect a snapshot of filings and enforcement status. Treat them as a research lead, not real-time confirmation of building conditions.

Generally, the signal is building-wide, while unit-level conditions can differ. Ask about the specific unit and nearby comparable units (noise, pests history, radiator/AC performance) during or before move-in.
