330 East 39th Street #11K
Negotiate: $4,500 sits inside the $3,698–$5,003 fair range built on this unit's own rent history, but the same unit was listed at $4,350 in February 2026. Seven active elevator violations and two open Class C violations need written answers before signing.

Your negotiation plan
Ask for
- Rent of $4,350, matching the February 2026 listing price for this same unit.Compass listed 11K at $4,350 on 2026-02-14, and that figure is also the fair-range midpoint.
- A repair rider committing to cure the 2 open HPD Class C violations by a set date, plus any conditions inside 11K.HPD showed 2 Class C violations open as of Oct 25, 2026.
- A written update on the 7 active elevator violations and the timeline to clear them.DOB NOW shows the newest active elevator violation was issued Oct 7, 2026.
- The required bedbug disclosure for the unit and the building, given before signing.The owner's latest filing reported 1 infested unit out of 510.
- A heat and hot water rent credit if service fails during heat season.There were 3 heat/hot water 311 requests on this lot since Oct 2025.
- Written confirmation of no broker fee and that the deposit is no more than one month's rent.Mirador exclusively represents the building, so it is the landlord's agent. State law caps deposits at one month.
Make the offer within a day or two of touring, in writing, and lead with the $4,350 February listing. Don't sign until the repair rider and bedbug disclosure are in hand.
Message to send
If they call you
Hi, I'm calling about 11K at 330 East 39th. I'm serious and can sign this week. I saw 11K listed at $4,350 back in February, and the unit's past rents support that number. Can you get me to $4,350? If the owner needs a little more, I could go to $4,400 with a repair rider and a heat credit. Also, where do things stand on the elevator violations? And could you send the bedbug disclosure and confirm there's no fee and a one-month deposit?

On the web
- Legal2020: Ulukaya v. Pan Am Equities: an appellate term decision upheld a trial court ruling that dismissed a tenant's habitability claim and awarded the landlord damages. It is a record of one case at a different property. It is not a finding about 330 E 39th. source

The broker
Agent not named yet
Building descriptions on StreetEasy, Apartments.com and Zillow say the building is 'exclusively represented by Mirador Real Estate'. That suggests an in-house or exclusive arrangement. I did not verify its terms.
Also listing in this building: #14M at $5,900, #24R at $4,200, #16P at $4,500, #20A at $4,300
Under the NYC FARE Act (since June 11, 2025) the party who hires the broker pays the fee. If this broker works for the landlord, you owe them nothing.
Is this listing legit?
3 of 4 checks pass
- ✓Price is within a normal distance of market (+3% vs our midpoint).Our estimate
- ?Listing agent not named yet. Add the agent’s name and we check the NY Department of State license list.
- ✓The building exists in city records and is registered to 330 EAST 39TH STREET, LLC (HPD registration filed 2025-08-28). The person collecting a deposit should match the owner, its managing agent, or a licensed broker.
- ✓Listed on StreetEasy, which verifies agents and takes down reported fakes. Still confirm the agent on that site is the one who contacted you.
The five tells of a fake listing
- Any request for money before you have seen the apartment and met the agent inside it.
- Payment by Zelle, Venmo, cash, wire or gift card; legitimate owners take certified checks or a portal.
- An application or “holding fee” over the $20 legal cap, or a deposit over one month’s rent.
- An agent who will only meet at their office first, or says the current tenant will not allow a visit.
- Pressure to sign today because “three other people are applying”.
If you have already paid someone and the story changed, report it to the NYPD and to DCWP.

- Check for leaks, mold, peeling paint and pests under sinks and in closets.
- Test windows, window guards, smoke and CO detectors, and door locks.
- Look at the trash and compactor areas, given the unsanitary-condition 311 requests.
- Listen for noise from the street and neighbors at the time of day you'd be home.
- Confirm the unit is a 1-bedroom and photograph its condition for move-in records.
Ask the broker
- Was 11K listed at $4,350 in February 2026, and why is it $4,500 now?

- Which utilities do I pay, and what do they typically cost here?
- Is any concession available, such as a free month or a lower rent for a longer lease?
- Can you confirm there's no broker fee, no extra fees, and a deposit of one month or less?
- What are typical renewal increases, given the unit is likely not stabilized?
Get in writing

What we could not find (8)
- No archived rent records for apartment 11K yet. The web research step looks for past listings.
- HPD registration renewal not yet published.
- Web: I couldn't confirm the current listing for 11K: its agent, fees, lease length, concessions, bed/bath/size, or how long it has been up. The $4,500 the renter saw doesn't match the $4,350 on Compass.
- Web: I didn't find the StreetEasy or Zillow history for 11K directly, or its exact dates. The price history comes from Compass's aggregated MLS data.
- Web: I found no reviews or complaints about the listing agent or Mirador Real Estate. I also didn't verify its exclusivity terms or the agent's name.
- Web: I didn't check whether Pan Am Equities or 330 East 39th Street LLC is on the Public Advocate's Worst Landlords list. I found no news or AG actions about this building, and I didn't check HPD violations, tenant association activity, or Google, Reddit or Yelp reviews.
- Web: I found no information on recent renovations, construction or disruptions in the building. I also didn't confirm 421-a or J-51 status.
- Web: My searches were cut off by a tool limit, so topics 3 to 5 got only light coverage.
