2018 Grove Street, Queens, NY 11385

The two-story, four-unit residential building at 2018 Grove Street in Ridgewood, owned by John Hoefinger, has maintained a generally positive housing record since its conversion to Class A status. Built in 1915, the property has consistently demonstrated effective pest management practices, particularly regarding bedbug control.

Between 2021 and 2024, the building received four Housing Maintenance Code violations related to the requirement for annual bedbug reporting, though these violations were all subsequently closed. Notably, the bedbug reports from 2021 through 2024 consistently indicated zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units, demonstrating successful preventive measures and effective management of the reported violations.

The building's most recent bedbug report for the period from November 2022 to October 2023, filed in August 2024, continues this trend of effective pest control with no reported infestations. Prior to the bedbug reporting requirement violations, the property underwent an initial rodent inspection in June 2017, which it passed, further indicating good overall maintenance standards. The consistent pattern of prompt correction and reporting compliance, particularly with no actual infestations reported in recent years, suggests the ownership has taken bedbug management seriously, despite the administrative oversight that led to the violations from 2021 to 2024.
