Augrented Insights
Initial analysis

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 513 East 118th Street in East Harlem, owned by Jared Rosenthal and dating back to 1899, has experienced several significant events over the past five years. Most notably, the building sustained damage from a fire in early 2022 that affected the first floor, resulting in charred wood joists, open windows, and smoke and water damage throughout, though these conditions were later resolved. The property has had recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance, receiving violations from 2021 through 2024 for failure to file annual reports, though the most recent 2024 report indicates no infestations, with zero infested or re-infested units. There have also been multiple construction-related incidents, including three consecutive years (2019-2023) of complaints regarding work without proper permits, resulting in stop work orders that were subsequently rescinded.

Good Cause Eviction

Is 513 East 118 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 not covered. This building appears to be exempt from Good Cause Eviction for the reason below.
  • Small landlord. This landlord owns about 3 units across 1 building in our records — at or below the 10-unit small-landlord threshold.

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.
