Augrented Insights
Initial analysis

1321 Lafayette Avenue is a 3-story, 3-unit residential building constructed in 2000, located in Hunts Point and currently owned by Oscar Pereyra. The building has maintained a generally solid record over recent years, with consistent passing results on Rodent Inspections from 2018 through 2025, and no bedbug infestations reported in the most recent filing periods (2022-2025). However, a notable cluster of maintenance issues occurred in October 2019, when multiple Housing Maintenance Code complaints were filed regarding water leaks, flooring problems, wall and ceiling conditions, and mold concerns - all categorized as either emergency or non-emergency issues. While these violations were officially closed by November 2019, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development's inability to gain access for inspection raises some concerns about the resolution process.

Good Cause Eviction

Is 1321 Lafayette Avenue 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 reasons below.
  • Small landlord. This landlord owns about 3 units across 1 building in our records — at or below the 10-unit small-landlord threshold.
  • Owner-occupied. The owner's registration address is this building, and it has 10 or fewer units — owner-occupied small buildings are exempt.

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
