Augrented Insights
Initial analysis

The 6-unit, 3-story apartment building at 99 Clay Street in Greenpoint, owned by Ljc Towers, LLC and constructed in 1931, has experienced a series of concerning maintenance and safety issues over the past seven years. Most notably in 2026, there were multiple heat and hot water complaints, including a significant whole-building outage in March 2026, along with unsanitary conditions relating to pests and garbage storage. The building currently faces several hazardous violations from September 2026 regarding defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in Apartment 4, along with issues with flower pots in public areas. Prior building safety concerns have included corroded metal stairs at the rear entrance (ECB violation, July 2023) and historical problems with illegal hotel rooms and transient use, particularly in 2020 and 2023 when Apartment 3 on the second floor was cited for requiring sprinklers, fire alarms, and additional egress that were not properly maintained.

Good Cause Eviction

Is 99 Clay 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 10 units across 2 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.
