483 Fairview Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

The three-story, six-unit OLD LAW TENEMENT building at 483 Fairview Avenue in Ridgewood, owned by Giuseppe Rapisardi and dating back to 1920, has experienced several notable issues over the past several years. Most recently, the building has two open Class A violations from 2023 and 2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD rules, which is particularly concerning given the building's older construction.

The building's most significant recent incident was a heat and hot water outage affecting the entire building in October 2020, though this was resolved within two days according to both 311 complaints and Housing Maintenance Code documentation. The property has multiple code violations recorded in late 2020 that remain open and are worth noting for their potential impact on resident safety and comfort.

These include requirements to post gas leak procedures, smoke detector requirements, and housing information guide availability notices in the first-story public area, as well as two violations related to removing bicycles and household items being stored in public hallways on the second and third stories. Additionally, there is an open Class B violation from October 2020 regarding a loose handrail in the second-story public hall. The only rodent inspection on record from May 2017 was passed, suggesting that this particular issue has not been a recurring problem, though more recent data on this matter is not available.
