2020 Greene Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

The two-story, four-unit residential building at 2020 Greene Avenue in Ridgewood, owned by Miroslaw Filipkowski, has a significant pattern of housing maintenance code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements over the past four years. Since 2021, the building has received four consecutive violations from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) for failing to file required annual bedbug reports, with the most recent violation issued in April 2024 still remaining open.

These persistent violations suggest ongoing challenges with compliance to Housing Maintenance Code requirements, specifically regarding pest management documentation. The building has demonstrated good maintenance practices in other areas, as evidenced by passing rodent inspections in 2015 and 2017, both of which were conducted as initial inspections.

However, the consistent failure to comply with bedbug reporting requirements since 2021 represents the building's most significant ongoing regulatory challenge. The structure, built in 1917, is classified as a New Law Tenement, a designation that typically indicates the building must adhere to specific rent stabilization and housing maintenance requirements under New York City law. While the bedbug reporting violations are concerning from a compliance perspective, it's worth noting that these violations pertain specifically to documentation requirements rather than direct indications of current pest infestations, though they may suggest potential ongoing pest management challenges if not properly addressed.
