If this does take place then, I guess that means DD was one of the earliest super-powered people in the MCU. Ant-Man (if you consider him powered) might beat him out, but since Matt gets his powers in flash backs as a kid, it could be close.
It's definitely post-Avengers since they reference both Iron Man AND Thor (who big public "coming out" wasn't until that movie). Also I heard somewhere that the destruction caused by the Chitauri attack is why Hell's Kitchen is still such a dump (as opposed to the clean and nice neighborhood that it actually is these days). Don't know how true that is though. Given that Marvel is seemingly releasing it's Phase Two stuff more or less in "real time" then I'd assume that it's post-IM 3, TDW, and TWS, but pre-AOU.

Why would Hell's Kitchen be a dump though compared to the rest of Manhattan? Didn't the battle affect all areas? Why would that part be rebuilt in a more shoddy way or left dilapidated while the surrounding areas still look more up market?

IDK I haven't seen the show yet. Maybe they just haven't gotten to it yet. Given the sheer scale of the devastation, it'd likely take years to even come close to rebuilding/repairing everything. Anyway that's just what I heard, IDK if it's true or not.
"So the aliens came down and ruined the ciy, and this is the story of Hell's Kitchen's rebuild." This is further confirmed by the publication when they mention seeing a framed newspaper in the office of the New York Bulletin showing Stark Tower "being zapped by a Chitauri laser beam".
Maybe after the destruction was caused in New York, this area "Hell's Kitchen" has a bad group of criminals and gang members take over making it impossible for construction crews to come in and fix things up. It's just too Dangerous. Enter the Kingpin and Daredevil with different views on how to take back the neighborhood.
