1290 Richmond Avenue in Graniteville is a 72-unit, 2-story residential building constructed in 1966 and currently owned by Pinchos Jager. The property has experienced multiple significant issues in recent months, with June 2025 seeing eight separate HPD complaints regarding various maintenance concerns including sewage problems, water leaks, wall issues, pest infestations, mold, electrical wiring concerns, and ventilation system problems. Many of these complaints required immediate attention as emergencies.

The building has also faced structural and maintenance challenges in the past year, with December 2024 inspections revealing heating system access issues, door problems, and electrical supply concerns in public areas. Previous records show recurring maintenance challenges, including three separate balcony repair violations in 2024 related to spalling concrete and exposed rebar, though these were marked as resolved. The building has had ongoing rodent inspection results showing a mix of compliance and failure patterns between 2016 and 2023, indicating persistent pest management challenges despite recent inspections showing passing results.

Several safety and maintenance violations have been documented and closed, including those related to self-closing doors and heating system access. The property has also experienced documented water drainage issues and ventilation concerns, though recent rodent inspections suggest improved pest control compliance. Notably, the building has reported no bedbug infestations in the past three reporting periods, and recent health department inspection results regarding smoke-free area violations have been addressed. The most recent Department of Buildings violations from 2023-2024 have primarily focused on maintenance compliance issues, with some violations related to failure to file required reports, though most have been resolved.
