Augrented Insights
Initial analysis

The three-story, two-family residence at 1836 Westchester Avenue in Soundview, owned by Munir Moflehi, has experienced several significant maintenance issues, particularly affecting Unit 2, over recent years. Most notably, in December 2022, the apartment was found to have active pest infestations, including both mice and roaches, leading to open violations from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) that remain unaddressed as of July 2025. The building has also faced recurring heating system problems, with multiple violations documented in 2022 regarding defective radiator components, including broken air valves and missing control handles, affecting various rooms in Unit 2. Earlier incidents include 2019 window issues that HPD could not inspect due to access problems, and rodent-related complaints in 2019 that followed previous rodent infestations documented in 2013.

Good Cause Eviction

Is 1836 Westchester 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.
  • Small landlord. This landlord owns about 2 units across 1 building in our records — at or below the 10-unit small-landlord threshold.

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.
