2025 Grove Street, Queens, NY 11385

The 4-unit, 2-story residential building at 2025 Grove Street in Ridgewood, owned by Jacob Landau, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over recent years, with the most pressing concerns emerging in 2023. Currently, there are multiple open Class A violations from August 2023 relating to required safety postings, including carbon monoxide detector requirements, smoke detector requirements, and the need for proper building registration display. Additionally, the building has three open violations related to bedbug report filings dating back to 2021, 2022, and 2024.

Recent 311 service requests indicate sanitary concerns, including reports of unsanitary conditions regarding garbage/recycling storage and a failed DOHMH inspection related to a dog complaint in August 2023. Plumbing issues were reported and classified as an immediate emergency in March 2023, though no violations were issued upon inspection. The building's history shows a pattern of maintenance challenges, including three complaints regarding illegal conversions and construction violations in 2019-2020, though inspections were unable to gain access to determine violations.

While rodent inspections in 2023 resulted in a failed inspection in July, followed by two passing inspections in August and October, this suggests ongoing pest management efforts. The property has shown some compliance with basic maintenance requirements, as evidenced by the passing rat inspections in 2023 and a similar result in June 2017. However, the persistence of open violations regarding safety postings and bedbug reporting requirements, along with recurring sanitation complaints, indicates ongoing management challenges that merit attention.
