216 Richardson Street, Brooklyn, NY 11222
The two-family house at 216 Richardson Street in Williamsburg, owned by Aron Karpen, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most pressing concerns emerging in 2024. In August 2024, the building faced unsanitary conditions related to mold, classified as an emergency under Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) violations, though inspectors did not issue formal violations upon investigation.
More concerning is an open HMC violation from the same month regarding a rodent infestation in the building's front yard, which remains unresolved as of September 2024. This area has shown persistent rodent issues, with documented activity during inspections in September and October 2022.
The property has also encountered safety equipment concerns, including a defective carbon monoxide detector in Apartment 1, documented during the August 2024 inspection, for which a notice of violation was issued and certified later that September. While there was a complaint about illegal hotel rooms in 2020, inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the situation. On a more positive note, the building has reported no bedbug infestations in the past two years (2023-2024 and 2022-2023), with zero units recorded as infested, eradicated, or re-infested during the annual reporting periods in December filings.
