Augrented Insights
Initial analysis

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 109 16th Street in Gowanus, owned by Ali Althaibani and constructed in 1991, has faced recurring issues with housing maintenance code compliance over the past several years. Most notably, there have been four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2021 through 2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD rules, with the most recent violation still remaining open as of April 2024. This pattern of non-compliance suggests an ongoing disregard for mandatory pest reporting requirements, which could impact resident comfort and safety.

Good Cause Eviction

Is 109 16 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 9 units across 3 buildings 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.

What's driving this score
