20-12 Himrod Street, Queens, NY 11385

The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 20-12 Himrod Street in Ridgewood, owned by Andrea Trinceri, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent months. Most notably, in April 2025, the building faced multiple emergency maintenance problems including mold issues, ceiling plaster problems, and electrical outlet/switch concerns, with HPD issuing violations for the latter.

There were also plumbing issues related to toilets during the same period, though these were ultimately determined not to violate housing laws upon inspection. Earlier in the year, in January 2025, there was a heavy water leak complaint that was investigated but found not to violate housing codes. The building's maintenance history shows recurring bedbug reporting requirements between 2021 and 2024, though no infestations have been reported during these periods, with the most recent filing (2025-05-15) showing zero infested or re-infested units.

The building's rodent inspection record indicates generally good conditions, with a passed inspection in February 2024 following a failed inspection for "Other Reasons" in April 2017. While the property has experienced various maintenance issues, it's worth noting that most recent complaints were promptly addressed, with many being resolved or determined not to violate housing codes. The building's age (built in 1920) and classification as a New Law Tenement are consistent with its historical context, though the persistent need for bedbug reporting compliance and periodic maintenance issues suggest ongoing building management challenges.
