Augrented Insights
Initial analysis

The 2080 LaFontaine Avenue building, an 8-story structure constructed in 2003 in Tremont, is currently facing multiple significant maintenance and safety issues. As of late 2026, there are numerous open violations and complaints across various categories, including electrical problems, air quality concerns (chemical vapors), and multiple interior maintenance issues such as cabinets, walls, and appliances. Recent inspections in August 2026 identified multiple Class C (Immediately Hazardous) violations related to self-closing doors in public areas and a compactor closet, as well as a roach infestation in one apartment. The building has a concerning history of elevator and boiler issues, with documented problems spanning from 2023 to 2026, including multiple instances of the "Single Device on Property/No Alternate Service" violation for elevators, and several defective/inoperative boiler complaints. The property has also experienced some pest management challenges, with two units previously reported as bedbug infested and a recent roach infestation documented.

Good Cause Eviction

Is 2080 Lafontaine 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 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
104 units across 2 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.
