Tenants in Belmont filed about 64,361 housing complaints to 311 in the 12 months to September 2026. Heat and hot water accounted for 36.9% of them, ahead of unsanitary conditions and pests at 15.6%.

Immediately hazardous Class C conditions ran 42.4 per 100 apartments against 9.2 citywide, and 24.8% of buildings recorded none.
Why does the Belmont building record matter when booking real estate agents?
Area figures describe 823 buildings holding 12,530 apartments, so check the specific address before you sign: one building's record can sit far from its neighborhood's average. Building age and condition change access, scope and timing for real estate agents work.
What do Belmont buildings typically look like and how does that affect real estate agents?
The median Belmont apartment building went up in 1925, 67.8% of apartments sit in buildings from before 1940 (citywide 45.8%), and 65.8% are in buildings of five floors or fewer (citywide 37.1%). Those building characteristics shape the scope of most jobs in the area.
Do I need a real estate agent to rent an apartment in NYC?
No. You can search listings directly from landlords and management companies, especially for no-fee buildings, and skip an agent entirely. Working with a tenant's agent can help if you want access to listings that are not posted publicly, or if you want someone negotiating rent and lease terms on your side, but nothing in the law requires you to use one.
How do I verify a NYC broker's license?
Search the broker or salesperson's name, or their license number, on eAccessNY, New York's public license lookup run by the Department of State. Confirm the license shows as active, since an expired or suspended license means that person cannot legally collect a fee. Ask for the license number directly rather than taking a business card at face value.
Who pays the broker fee now that the FARE Act is in effect?
Whoever hires the broker pays the broker. If your landlord's agent listed the apartment and reached out to show it to you, the landlord pays that fee, not you, as of June 11, 2025. You only owe a fee if you separately hired your own agent to search on your behalf and represent you in negotiations.
