The 32-unit, 4-story residential building at 60 Sutter Avenue in Brownsville, owned by Howard Avenue Associates, has experienced persistent maintenance issues since at least 2020. Most notably, there is an ongoing elevator maintenance problem, with multiple complaints and violations related to the building's single elevator device, including recent active violations for an inoperative emergency signal car phone and dirty maintenance pit as of August 2026, as well as frequent complaints about lack of alternate service. The building has generated concerning quantities of violations and complaints over the past seven years, including 151 Class B violations and 105 Class C violations, with 276 housing maintenance complaints filed through official channels. Recent inspections from September 2026 revealed multiple immediate hazards in apartment 2H, including infestations of mice and roaches, as well as several maintenance issues involving doors, walls, plumbing fixtures, and heating elements, all of which were documented through Notices of Violation. Additional concerns include failed rodent inspections, environmental control board penalties totaling $2,187, and numerous 311 service requests regarding various maintenance issues such as paint/plaster work, flooring repairs, and plumbing problems.

The Department of Buildings also issued a violation in December 2023 for failing to display the building's energy efficiency score and grade, indicating potential regulatory compliance issues.

Good Cause Eviction

Is 60 Sutter 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 covered. Based on public records, market-rate units here appear to fall under Good Cause Eviction protections — tenants may have the right to a lease renewal and to challenge rent increases above the local rent standard (inflation + 5%, capped at 10%).
Built before 2009
Yes
Landlord owns 11+ units
135 units across 6 bldgs

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.
