470 Riverdale Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207
470 Riverdale Avenue is a 3-story, 6-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1930, currently owned by Ronald Hodge. The building has experienced several notable maintenance issues over recent years, with the most significant being a heat and hot water outage affecting the entire building in December 2019, though these services were reportedly restored shortly thereafter.
Between 2018 and 2024, the building accumulated multiple violations, including recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 (classified as Class A violations), and several active Department of Buildings violations from 2018-2023 related to external low pressure inspection filings, including failures to submit reports for 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022. Other notable issues include an open Class B violation from 2018 regarding a defective fire escape ladder, various window repairs needed in Apartment 1, and multiple safety equipment deficiencies such as non-functioning carbon monoxide detectors and missing smoke detector requirement notices in common areas. On a positive note, the building has demonstrated recent attention to pest management, with three consecutive annual bedbug reports (2023-2025) showing no infested units or eradication efforts needed.
The building's rodent inspections in 2011, 2012, and 2019 all passed successfully, suggesting effective pest control in this area. While some historical violations remain unresolved, the building has maintained basic safety standards, with no reported violations for essential services or systems in the past two years. The most pressing current issues appear to be related to the external low pressure inspection compliance, though these violations are not directly related to resident safety or comfort.
