What to watch forⓘ

  1. Lead-paint violations on record.
    Worth checking · AI-assistedⓘ
    Look for paint that is peeling, chipped, or cracked on interior walls, trim, windows, doors, and door frames.
    details ▸

    Buildings built before 1960 may still contain lead-based paint, which causes behavioral and learning problems in young children, who can swallow dust and paint chips from windowsills and floors.

    If a child under six lives with you, or spends 10 or more hours a week in your apartment, tell the owner in writing, which is what obliges them to inspect annually. Report peeling paint, and call 311 if it is not fixed or if repair work is raising dust that is not being contained.

  2. Pests reported in the last five years.
    Worth checking · AI-assistedⓘ
    Look along baseboards, in corners, and behind appliances for droppings, dead insects, or signs of active pest activity.
    details ▸

    Roaches, mice, and rats can be hazards for people with respiratory conditions such as asthma. Bedbugs spread between apartments through small cracks in walls and floors, so catching them early matters.

See something wrong? File a complaint with 311

Report pests to the owner and call 311 if they are not dealt with. For bedbugs, an HPD inspector visits, and a violation is issued only if they can visually confirm live bedbugs.

  • ABCs of Housing
  • Mold reported in the last five years.
    Worth checking · AI-assistedⓘ
    Check corners, windowsills, and under sinks for discoloration, soft spots, or odor that might suggest mold.
    details ▸

    Mold can cause allergic reactions and irritation, and can trigger asthma in some people. It needs moisture to grow, so it generally indicates a leak or persistent damp.

    Report mold to the owner, who is expected to inspect annually and to respond to complaints, and call 311 if it is not addressed.
