Know the building before you sign the lease.
Honest reviews of NYC landlords and buildings — written by the tenants who actually lived there, paired with the city's own violation records. Not the broker's spin.
New to NYC? What to check before you sign▾
- Heat & hot water: landlords must provide heat Oct 1–May 31. Search a building's reviews and its HPD record for failures.
- Your deposit: by law it's capped at one month's rent and must be returned within 14 days of move-out. Watch reviews for deposit games.
- Broker fees: often 12–15% of annual rent. Ask if it's "no-fee." Listings hide this; tenants don't.
- HPD violations & 311: the city's own record of open housing-code violations and complaints — an objective gut-check on each building, shown right on its page.
- Rent-stabilized? It caps annual increases — a big deal long-term. Tenants often mention it in reviews.
