Augrented Insights
Initial analysis

The 204-unit, 8-story residential building at 4179 3rd Avenue in Tremont, owned by Wilfred Realty Corp., has been in operation since 2018 and is currently facing significant maintenance and safety challenges. The property has a concerning record of 24 Class A violations, 61 Class B violations, and 76 Class C violations in the past seven years, along with 306 housing complaints and 321 311 service requests. Recent inspections in August 2026 revealed multiple hazardous conditions in Apartment 213, including water leaks, cockroach infestation, and damaged wall surfaces in both the hallway and bathroom. The building's elevator systems have been particularly problematic, with multiple complaints and violations in 2025-2026 regarding service outages and maintenance issues, leading to substantial penalties ranging from $625 to $3,125 per violation. Additional concerns include a documented history of a bedbug-infested unit, one failed rodent inspection, and multiple plumbing-related issues, including recent complaints about sinks and bathtubs in September 2026. While the building has received some permits over the years (12 in total), these recent and ongoing maintenance issues suggest a pattern of inadequate upkeep that significantly impacts resident safety and comfort.

Good Cause Eviction

Is 4179 3rd 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 reason below.
  • New construction. Built in 2018. Good Cause protections don't apply until 2048 (30 years after construction).

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.
