Augrented Insights
Initial analysis

The 5-story, 4-unit building at 648 Myrtle Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by 648 Myrtle Ave LLC, has experienced several significant issues over recent years that warrant attention. Most notably, the property is currently facing multiple active violation notices from the Department of Buildings issued in June 2023 for failing to file required external low-pressure inspections between 2018-2021, with an additional active ECB violation from 2019 regarding unpermitted work involving a construction structure. The building has a concerning history of rodent activity, with several inspections between 2022-2025 showing either rat activity or requiring bait application, though a passed inspection in June 2025 offers some recent assurance. Previous violations from 2020 included issues with building safety signage, notification procedures for gas leaks, and unauthorized use of public hall space, though these were subsequently addressed.

Good Cause Eviction

Is 648 Myrtle 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 4 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.
