607 Grandview Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

The 20-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building at 607 Grandview Avenue in Ridgewood, owned by David Schiefersteiner and constructed in 1927, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, particularly concerning heat and hot water supply. Most recently, in April 2025, there was a heat/hot water complaint that HPD could not inspect, following a pattern of similar complaints in 2022 and 2024 that suggest ongoing challenges with the building's heating system. The property has also faced multiple sanitary issues, including three garbage/recycling storage complaints in August 2024, though no violations were found during inspections.

Rodent sightings were reported in 2024, with at least one inspection resulting in successful compliance. Previous maintenance concerns included a batch of violations in August 2022 in apartment 2D related to bathroom repairs and door issues, and problems with the building's fire egress system identified in 2019, which were subsequently resolved. The building's management has generally addressed documented violations, as shown by the "Closed" status on most cases, though some recent complaints have only been partially investigated or closed without resolution.

The property has maintained an active bedbug prevention program, with no reported infestations in the past six years. Regular rodent inspections conducted in 2012, 2017, 2022, and 2024 have generally resulted in passing grades, though there was one failed inspection in 2012. The building's history suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly with the heating system, while basic safety and sanitation requirements have been met, with some exceptions. The most recent building inspection records indicate periodic attention to safety systems, including smoke detector requirements, though the relatively high number of service requests and complaints regarding basic services is noteworthy.
