Augrented Insights Report for 520 Riverdale Avenue

520 Riverdale Avenue is a 2-story, 6-unit residential building constructed in 1930, currently owned by Meredith Marshall and located in East New York. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout the past several years, with multiple complaints documented between 2021 and 2024 indicating problems with heating systems affecting both individual apartments and the entire building.

Most notably, in February 2024 there were at least five heat/hot water-related complaints in quick succession, some classified as emergencies. The building also faced a significant unsanitary condition complaint involving sewage in May 2025, though HPD was unable to complete their inspection. The property has a history of various maintenance issues as evidenced by multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations, including a 2021 violation for inadequate heat supply in apartment 2AA and various issues in apartment 1A documented in 2019 related to plumbing, plastering, and door mechanisms.

Recent records show multiple infrastructure concerns were addressed in September 2024, including plumbing, electrical, and door issues. The Department of Buildings has cited the property for failure to file external low pressure inspections in 2018-2020, with one violation remaining active as of 2023. However, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the building since 2019, and rodent inspections show a generally positive compliance record, with only one failed inspection noted in 2014, followed by subsequent passes in 2015 and beyond.
