42-09 47 Avenue
Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years, but our model still flags a rising risk of maintenance problems in the next 12 months. That forecast comes from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area, not from this building's own record — treat it as a reason to ask questions, not as evidence of a problem. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.
This building has 5 recorded HPD violations, at or below the Sunnyside average of 15.7.
The bar and the rating point different ways because they measure different things: the bar counts HPD violations already on file, the rating forecasts the next 12 months.
The 78-unit, 6-story residential building at 42-09 47 Avenue in Sunnyside, built in 1934 and currently owned by Gebs Realty LLC, is experiencing multiple maintenance and safety issues as of mid-2026. The property has recent and ongoing concerns with various types of paint and plaster problems affecting walls, windows, and doors, with multiple complaints filed between July and August 2026, though some have been closed. Of particular concern is an August 2026 inspection that revealed several Class C (Immediately Hazardous) violations in apartment 6K, including issues with self-closing doors, lead-based paint hazards, and missing window guards, though some of these violations were subsequently closed or certified on time.

What's in the 42-09 47 Avenue report
Is 42-09 47 Avenue rent-stabilized?
Rent stabilization caps how much your rent can rise and protects your right to renew. Here's how this building scores on the four signals that usually point to it.
Based on public NYC records. Not legal advice — verify with the DHCR (Division of Housing and Community Renewal) at apps.hcr.ny.gov.
Is 42-09 47 Avenue covered by Good Cause Eviction?
New York's Good Cause Eviction law (effective April 20, 2024) gives many market-rate tenants the right to renew their lease and challenge rent hikes above the annual local rent standard. It doesn't apply to every building.
Good Cause also excludes condos & co-ops, subsidized/regulated housing, and units renting above 245% of Fair Market Rent — signals we can't always confirm from public data. Not legal advice. Learn more at nyc.gov or call 311 for the Tenant Helpline.
How 42-09 47 Avenue's risk score is calculated
We trained a model on 7 years of city inspection data — HPD violation filings, tenant complaints, and owner track records across their entire portfolio. It estimates the probability that HPD inspectors will find serious or dangerous violations at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.
