Augrented Insights
Initial analysis

The six-story, 92-unit building at 242-248 West 64th Street in Manhattan's Upper West Side, owned by 63 West Realty Corp, has experienced a concerning pattern of maintenance issues and violations in recent years. Most notably, since April 2026, there has been a significant cluster of ongoing and recently filed plumbing and sanitation problems, including multiple sewage-related complaints, toilet issues, and appliance troubles, with several of these cases classified as emergencies. The building has also received critical safety violation notices, including an August 2026 finding of scalding hot water exceeding 130 degrees in Apartment 2G, and multiple Class B violations from April 2026 concerning missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in Apartment 1C, along with kitchen sink obstruction issues. While there was one reported instance of bedbug infestation in the past seven years, and a single executed eviction, these recent maintenance and safety violations appear to be the most pressing concerns.

Good Cause Eviction

Is 242-248 West 64 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
274 units across 4 bldgs

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.
