486 Grandview Avenue, Queens, NY 11385
The four-unit, two-story tenement building at 486 Grandview Avenue in Ridgewood, owned by Joseph Formato and built in 1920, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years.
Most recently, in June 2025, the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene found violations related to rat sightings, marking the second consecutive year of rodent concerns, with an initial inspection in June 2025 confirming rat activity and previous inspections showing passed results in 2017. The building's maintenance history reveals troubling sanitary conditions, particularly in August 2022 when there were emergency complaints regarding sewage issues that HPD was unable to inspect.
While there have been multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements between 2021-2024, the building's official records show no actual bedbug infestations, eradications, or re-infestations during the reporting periods from 2019 to 2024, with all reports indicating zero affected units. The most recent bedbug report from May 2024 confirmed compliance with reporting requirements, showing an accurate record-keeping pattern despite the previous violations.
