Augrented Insights Report for 120 Riverdale Avenue

120 Riverdale Avenue is a 5-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building located in Brownsville, owned by Joseph Waldman and constructed in 1930. The property has experienced recurring plumbing and water-related issues over the past two years, with multiple complaints in 2023-2025 including recent sink and toilet problems in June 2025 where HPD was unable to complete inspections. The building has documented water leak issues, with violations issued in March 2024 for damp spots and heavy flow problems. Unit 1R has multiple open violations from March 2024 related to peeling paint, defective plaster, lighting issues, and a water leak in the kitchen, while Unit 2F has open violations from February 2024 for pest infestation and various maintenance issues.

The building has maintained an active bedbug reporting history from 2018-2024, consistently reporting zero infested units. Historical records show structural concerns were documented in 2020, with violations related to exterior cracks and maintenance issues, though these were eventually resolved. Emergency service requests remain a pattern, with several plumbing and water supply complaints categorized as emergencies. The building has recent active DOB violations from June 2023 regarding failure to file 2021 external low pressure inspection.

While the pest issue was notable in 2024, recent bedbug reports show no current infestations. Despite these ongoing maintenance challenges, the building has not had any reported bedbug infestations since 2022. The property has experienced multiple instances where HPD was unable to complete inspections, suggesting potential access issues for building management. The building's history shows a mix of resolved and ongoing violations, with a particular focus needed on addressing the recurring water-related problems and maintaining more consistent compliance with housing codes.
