20-18 Himrod Street, Queens, NY 11385

The three-story, 5-unit residential building at 20-18 Himrod Street in Ridgewood, owned by Vita Dwyer, has had several maintenance issues over the years, with the most significant problems occurring in late 2020. During a series of inspections in October-November 2020, the building faced multiple violations, particularly affecting apartment 3L, including issues with floor repairs, door frames, and an urgent infestation of roaches.

Other building-wide problems documented during this period included issues with cabinets, flooring, window frames, and both mold and pest infestations, though most complaints were ultimately closed without violations, with the exception of some door and floor-related violations. Following these incidents, the building underwent rodent inspections in 2017 and 2018, both of which passed. More recently, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with annual reports from 2020 through 2024 showing zero cases of infestation or re-infestation.

The only documented violation after 2020 was in September 2021, concerning broken paving at the front area, which was subsequently closed. The most recent housing maintenance code complaints and violations were from 2020, with all being resolved or closed, suggesting improved maintenance responsiveness over the past few years. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of earlier issues primarily concentrated in 2020, with more recent records indicating better overall building condition and prompt resolution of any arising issues.
