Augrented Insights
Initial analysis

The three-story, four-unit residential building at 75 Division Avenue in Williamsburg, owned by 75 Division, Llc, has a notable record of recent violations and construction issues beginning in early 2026. The most significant current concern involves an unauthorized steel balcony structure on the third floor, measuring approximately 10 feet by 10 feet, constructed of C channels, beams, and Q decking, supported by steel box columns - a setup deemed to have substandard footings, bracing, and load distribution. This balcony installation has resulted in multiple active Environmental Control Board violations, including penalties totaling $5,000, and a partial vacate order for work performed without proper permits. Additionally, there are concerns regarding the failure to conduct a required final inspection of previously permitted work from 2010, for which a $1,250 penalty has been imposed.

Good Cause Eviction

Is 75 Division 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.
