162 Riverdale Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11212
162 Riverdale Avenue is a 3-unit, 3-story New Law tenement building located in Brownsville and owned by Tuwroh Nmah. Built in 1899, this building has experienced several maintenance issues over the past five years, with the most significant being an unresolved bedbug reporting compliance issue.
Between 2021 and 2024, there have been four consecutive violations related to bedbug report filings under Housing Maintenance Code Section A, all of which remain open as of April 2024. The building has also faced safety and comfort challenges, including a notable heat and hot water emergency in January 2022 that resulted in HPD's inability to gain access to inspect the apartments, and a power outage incident in August 2018 where no violations were found following an HPD inspection.
Additionally, there is an open Class C violation from January 2022 regarding an illegally installed key-operated double cylinder lock on the front entrance metal gate, which poses security concerns for residents. While the building has some historical charm as a 19th-century structure, these maintenance and safety issues suggest ongoing challenges with building management and compliance.
