9 Richardson Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

The 8-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building at 9 Richardson Street in Williamsburg, owned by Richard Dubitsky and constructed in 1928, has experienced several noteworthy events over recent years. Most significantly, in January 2024, there was a heat and hot water complaint affecting the entire building, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the conditions. The building has maintained an exemplary record regarding bedbug infestations, with all five annual reports from 2019 through 2024 showing zero cases of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation in any dwelling units.

Three Housing Maintenance Code violations were issued between 2022 and 2024 regarding the failure to file the required annual bedbug report, though these violations were subsequently closed. In December 2019, there was an investigation into potentially illegal hotel rooms in the building, but inspectors were unable to gain access during their inspection attempts. The building's overall maintenance record shows relatively few issues, with the most recent bedbug report (December 2024) continuing the pattern of zero infestations.

A rodent inspection conducted in February 2010 resulted in a passing grade. While the heat and hot water complaint from early 2024 represents the most recent tenant service issue, it's worth noting that this couldn't be independently verified due to access restrictions. The property has had consistent documentation of bedbug reporting compliance since 2019, with all reports showing no evidence of infestations during their respective reporting periods, suggesting effective pest management practices.
