3901 Nostrand Avenue

Brooklyn, NY 11235 BBL 3074750001 234 units · 6 floors · 1961

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years, but our model still flags a rising risk of maintenance problems in the next 12 months. That forecast comes from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area, not from this building's own record — treat it as a reason to ask questions, not as evidence of a problem. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Fewer violations More violations

This building has 5 recorded HPD violations, at or below the Sheepshead Bay average of 16.1.

The bar and the rating point different ways because they measure different things: the bar counts HPD violations already on file, the rating forecasts the next 12 months.

Good Cause Eviction

Is 3901 Nostrand 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
234 units across 1 bldg

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.

How we score buildings

How 3901 Nostrand Avenue's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of city inspection data — HPD violation filings, tenant complaints, and owner track records across their entire portfolio. It estimates the probability that HPD inspectors will find serious or dangerous violations at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Neighborhood percentile
8thpercentile

Out of 1389 buildings in this neighborhood, 118 have a higher predicted risk. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

What's driving this score

These are the three data points that most influenced this building's score — ranked by how much weight the model placed on each one.

Serious violations last 1–2 years

HPD found serious or dangerous conditions at this address recently — the strongest signal of problems ahead.

Number of apartments

The number of residential units affects how the model interprets complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building size

Total residential square footage — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, HVAC, etc.) that can fail.

Don't stop here — this is just the surface.
