445 Gerard Avenue

Bronx, NY 10451 BBL 2023510012 338 units · 12 floors · 2021

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.

Good Cause Eviction

Is 445 Gerard 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.
  • New construction. Built in 2021. Good Cause protections don't apply until 2051 (30 years after construction).

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 445 Gerard 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

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.

Building size

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

Number of apartments

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

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