- City records show 4 open HPD violations, 3 immediately hazardous (Class C) under the 2 addresses HPD registers as this building (167 Riverdale Avenue, 147 Riverdale Avenue). Ask which are still unresolved in the unit and the landlord’s timeline to clear them.
- The oldest open violation on record dates to 2020 — why has it stayed open this long, and is it in or near this unit?
- We found no DHCR rent-stabilization unit count for this building. That is not the same as the building being market-rate — a registration can be on file with no unit figure, or not have been filed at all. Ask the landlord directly whether the unit is rent-stabilized, and request your own rent history from DHCR.
- Confirm the condition behind the most recent open violation was actually repaired, not just marked closed: Abate the infestation consisting of mice in the entire apartment.
- Confirm in person that the immediately-hazardous (Class C) conditions — typically heat, hot water, leaks, mold or pests — are genuinely fixed, not just marked closed.
167 Riverdale Avenue sits in Brooklyn, ZIP 11212. The closest subway is Rockaway Av (3) (3-minute walk), served by the 3 line.
Building Condition
Oldest open violation: August 2020 · Most recent: February 2022. HPD marks a violation open until it is certified as corrected, so an old date can mean an unresolved condition or a repair that was never certified.
