Bronx, NY 10451 BBL 2024180033 80 units · 5 floors · 2005

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years, but our model still flags a rising risk of maintenance problems in the next 12 months. That forecast comes from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area, not from this building's own record — treat it as a reason to ask questions, not as evidence of a problem. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Fewer violations More violations

This building has 5 recorded HPD violations, at or below the Melrose average of 37.4.

The bar and the rating point different ways because they measure different things: the bar counts HPD violations already on file, the rating forecasts the next 12 months.

Good Cause Eviction

Is 303 East 158 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
528 units across 8 bldgs
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.

How we score buildings

How 303 East 158 Street's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of city inspection data — HPD violation filings, tenant complaints, and owner track records across their entire portfolio. It estimates the probability that HPD inspectors will find serious or dangerous violations at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What's driving this score

These are the three data points that most influenced this building's score — ranked by how much weight the model placed on each one.

Hazardous violations (past 7 years)

HPD violations classified as hazardous — things like mold, peeling lead paint, or broken heat.

Building size

Total residential square footage — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, HVAC, etc.) that can fail.

Emergency violations (past 7 years)

HPD violations classified as immediately dangerous — fires, raw sewage, no heat in winter.
