193 Richmond Street, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The three-story, three-unit tenement building at 193 Richmond Street in Cypress Hills, currently owned by Olga Gonzalez, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. In August 2023, the building had multiple emergency and non-emergency complaints, including problems with stairs, various wall surfaces (ceiling, floor, and window), door issues, and unsanitary conditions related to garbage and recycling storage.

The building has documented violations from early 2024 that require attention, including an open Class A violation for failing to file the annual bedbug report, a Class B violation regarding missing wire mesh at a third-story skylight, and multiple issues with self-closing doors affecting both the public hall and a specific apartment. Additional concerns were noted about unsafe electrical wiring in the cellar, while other issues such as rust on the fire escape, improper garbage storage in various locations, and defective fire retardant materials in the cellar ceiling were documented throughout 2023-2024.

The most recent bedbug report from May 2024 indicates no current infestations, while August 2023 saw numerous maintenance complaints, though all were closed by August 22, 2023. A rodent inspection conducted in March 2012 resulted in a passing grade. The building, constructed in 1901, has had various maintenance and safety concerns, with a particular focus needed on addressing the open violations from 2024.
