Augrented Insights
Initial analysis

The 6-story, 51-unit building at 729 East 216 Street in Williamsbridge, owned by 216 Street LLC, was completed in 2024. The building's records show a combination of construction-related issues and ongoing maintenance concerns. During the construction period, there were three notable Department of Buildings (DOB) complaints in late 2023 to early 2024, including concerns about site conditions endangering workers in February 2024, which resulted in two Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations with penalties totaling $6,000 - one for missing construction safety fencing and another for inadequate overhead protection at adjacent properties.

Good Cause Eviction

Is 729 East 216 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 not covered. This building appears to be exempt from Good Cause Eviction for the reason below.
  • New construction. Built in 2024. Good Cause protections don't apply until 2054 (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.

What's driving this score

These are the three data points that most influenced this building's score — ranked by how much weight the model placed on each one.

Number of apartments

The number of residential units affects how the model interprets complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Neighborhood location

The model uses precise location as a proxy for neighborhood-level risk patterns — some blocks have systematically higher violation rates.
