167 Riverdale Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11212

167 Riverdale Avenue in Brownsville is a three-story, 73-unit Class A apartment building constructed in 1978, currently owned by Herminio Torres. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past two years, with the most recent concerns in June 2025 involving pest problems that could not be fully inspected by HPD.

Significant violations were documented in March 2025, including heat/hot water issues and mold problems, along with multiple pest-related complaints. Previous violations from 2024 indicate water leak issues in multiple apartments (A and B), problems with carbon monoxide detectors, and smoke detector deficiencies, all of which were subsequently certified as corrected. The building has a documented history of rodent activity, with the most recent rodent inspection in October 2023 passing, though there were several instances of rat activity noted between 2018 and 2022.

Department of Buildings records show violations related to boiler inspection filings in 2019 and 2023, though these were dismissed. Importantly, the building's pest and bedbug reports from 2024-2025 indicate no bedbug infestations, with consistent zero counts for infested, eradicated, and re-infested units across multiple reporting periods. While some maintenance issues have been addressed and closed, the pattern of recurring complaints suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep and resident comfort, particularly regarding moisture management and pest control.
