Considerations for New Construction

While new buildings offer many advantages, here are some things to consider:

Pros

  • Modern amenities and finishes
  • Energy-efficient systems (lower utility costs)
  • Fewer maintenance issues initially
  • ADA accessibility compliance
  • Modern safety features

Cons

  • Generally higher rents
  • Usually not rent stabilized (post-1974)
  • May still have construction defects being discovered
  • Building systems still being "broken in"
  • Less established neighborhood character

Use StreetSmart to check any new building's early violation record and see how the landlord is responding to any issues reported by initial tenants.
