Augrented Insights
Initial analysis

The three-story, five-unit residential building at 506 Richmond Terrace in New Brighton, owned by Four Properties Corp., has experienced significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Of particular concern are multiple active violations related to the building's low-pressure boiler system, with citations issued in 2023 for failing to file required inspections from 2018 and 2020. A substantial safety issue emerged in April 2023 when approximately 50 square feet of brick wall below the porch was reported to be in danger of collapse, leading to a closure of the ingress/egress area. The building has also faced persistent heating issues, with multiple emergency heat/hot water complaints affecting the entire building in January 2023, followed by similar complaints about food contamination and rodent sightings. More recent violations from January 2026 include obstructed fire escape egress with personal items, concerns about improperly repaired masonry work, and failure to obtain required structural engineer reports, with penalties totaling over $30,000 imposed by the Environmental Control Board.

Good Cause Eviction

Is 506 Richmond Terrace 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
15 units across 2 bldgs
Not owner-occupied
No owner-occupancy

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.
