61 Riverdale Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11212
The 27-unit, 4-story building at 61 Riverdale Avenue in Brownsville, currently owned by U S Brownsville Iii Hdfc, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been persistent heat and hot water problems, with three separate building-wide complaints in 2025 alone, including two emergencies in May 2025.
The building is currently facing multiple open violations from a December 2024 inspection, including issues with a mouse infestation in apartment 2C, leaky faucets in apartment 3A, and various maintenance concerns requiring painting in multiple areas. Previous violations from 2024 noted problems with the fire escape, door self-closures, and the need for carbon monoxide detector repairs, though many of these were certified as resolved by January 2025.
The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of accessibility issues during inspections, with several complaints being closed without inspection due to inability to gain access. While recent rodent inspections in 2025 resulted in passing grades, a January 2025 inspection initially failed for "Other Reasons." The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past five years. The 2023-2024 period shows multiple complaints and violations related to various building systems and common areas, suggesting ongoing challenges with property maintenance and resident communication, particularly regarding access for inspections and repairs.
