Bronx, NY 10459 BBL 2026900063 69 units · 6 floors · 1993

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.

Augrented Insights
Initial analysis

The six-story, 69-unit building at 851 East 162nd Street in Longwood, built in 1993 and owned by the 920 Prospect Gardens Housing Development Fund Corp, is facing multiple significant maintenance and safety issues. Most notably, in September 2026, serious health concerns were documented in Apartment 4B, including rodent infestations (mice and cockroaches) and water damage to the bathroom ceiling, along with visible mold exceeding 30 square feet. These problems were classified as immediately hazardous or hazardous under housing codes. Earlier in 2026, the building recorded numerous maintenance issues, with 311 service requests on August 24 documenting problems with plumbing (sink and water leak), doors and windows (frame issues), and unsanitary conditions (mold). Additionally, there is a concerning pattern of violations related to the building's boiler system, with multiple November 2025 violations for failure to file required low pressure inspection documentation.

Good Cause Eviction

Is 851 East 162 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
69 units across 1 bldg

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.
