I have had a lot of experience with this, as I owned properties that participated in government programs. First, one must understand the type of housing. In general, the apartments that receive subsidies individually are less attractive than buildings that are contracted as a whole. Newer buildings are generally much nicer as the developers in recent years have been given greater incentives by the city to make better housing. The following is a list, in my opinion of apartment quality based on it's status:
Built after 1998, HPD Contracted: Excellent Condition
General HPD Contracts, pre 1998: Good Conditions
Housing Stability Plus Program (HSP): Below Average
Section 8 Voucher Units, pre 1998 construction: Terrible
Be wary of the tenants in the building as well. If you see that they are constantly fighting with landlords, or they keep their apartments in poor condition, it is very likely that it will spill into your apartment. Look for evidence of rat traps or poison. Also bed bugs. If any apartment has bed bugs, most of the other units are at risk. Look to make sure the areas around the building are clean as well.
To find violations on the building in advance, you can look directly at the nyc hpd website at the following link:

Just enter the address and borough, and you will see the violations of the building. Courtesy of Think Properties NYC
