618 Riverdale Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The 6-unit, 3-story building at 618 Riverdale Avenue in East New York, owned by Paul London, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years. Most recently, in April 2025, there were multiple complaints involving unsanitary conditions including mold, pests, and plumbing issues related to water supply, resulting in violations that require correction within a specified timeframe.

Earlier, in June 2024, the building faced multiple maintenance challenges including problems with fire escape safety, doors and windows, and various plumbing issues affecting bathtubs/showers and sinks, though these were reportedly corrected following HPD inspections. The building's historical maintenance record reveals ongoing concerns with water-related issues, including slow leaks and plumbing problems, as evidenced by April 2025 and June 2024 complaints. Of particular note, the building has four open violations (dating back to 2021-2024) regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by Housing Maintenance Code.

While these violations are classified as "A" violations, it is unclear from the available data whether they relate to current infestation concerns or procedural compliance. The only rodent inspection on record, conducted in August 2012, resulted in a passing grade. The building's age (built in 1930 as a New Law Tenement) and these multiple maintenance issues suggest ongoing challenges with building systems and resident comfort.
