Augrented Insights
Initial analysis

301 Columbia Street, a 4-unit, 4-story old law tenement built in 1900 and currently owned by Demetrios Yatrakis, has experienced several significant maintenance issues, particularly during 2019, when multiple complaints were filed regarding heating and hot water problems affecting the entire building and individual apartments. The building also faced challenges with indoor air quality concerns (including chemical odors and ventilation issues), sewage problems (including leaks and odors), and pest-related issues, with inspections showing varied results. More recent history shows improved conditions, with the most recent bedbug report from December 2024 showing no affected units. While there were multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations related to failure to file external low pressure inspection reports between 2018-2021, these were subsequently dismissed in December 2024. The building underwent inspections for rodent issues in 2016-2019, with most results showing compliance, though there was one initial failure in 2018.

Good Cause Eviction

Is 301 Columbia 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.
  • Small landlord. This landlord owns about 3 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.
