186 Richmond Street, Brooklyn, NY 11208

186 Richmond Street is a three-story, three-unit tenement building located in the Cypress Hills neighborhood, built in 1901 and currently owned by Juan Frias. The property has experienced several notable issues over recent years, with the most significant being four consecutive years (2021-2024) of failing to file the required annual bedbug reports as mandated by the Housing Maintenance Code, resulting in open violations that remain unresolved as of 2025.

In 2019, there was a concerning incident involving heat and hot water complaints, though housing authorities were unable to gain access to inspect the reported conditions. Additionally, the same year saw a report of a broken or missing window guard, which represents a potential safety hazard.

The building has also been the subject of multiple complaints regarding illegal activities, including work without a permit, an illegal curb cut, and possible illegal conversion, though inspections in these cases either found no violations or inspectors were unable to gain access. On a positive note, the building passed its rodent inspections in both 2012 and 2017, suggesting no significant pest control issues during those periods.
