Good Cause Eviction

Is 332 East 28 Street covered by Good Cause Eviction?

New York's Good Cause Eviction law (effective April 20, 2024) gives many market-rate tenants the right to renew their lease and challenge rent hikes above the annual local rent standard. It doesn't apply to every building.

Likely covered. Based on public records, market-rate units here appear to fall under Good Cause Eviction protections — tenants may have the right to a lease renewal and to challenge rent increases above the local rent standard (inflation + 5%, capped at 10%).
Built before 2009
Yes
Landlord owns 11+ units
224 units across 1 bldg
Not owner-occupied
No owner-occupancy

Good Cause also excludes condos & co-ops, subsidized/regulated housing, and units renting above 245% of Fair Market Rent — signals we can't always confirm from public data. Not legal advice. Learn more at nyc.gov or call 311 for the Tenant Helpline.

What's driving this score

Complaint rate, landlord's portfolio

Average complaint rate per building across everything this landlord owns. High rates signal systemic neglect.

311 housing calls (past 7 years)

311 calls from or about this address logged as housing-related over 7 years.

Number of apartments

The number of residential units affects how the model interprets complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.
