562 Fairview Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

The 4-unit, 2-story New Law Tenement building at 562 Fairview Avenue in Ridgewood, owned by Grzegorz Ulicki and constructed in 1915, has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years. Most significantly, in early 2024, the building had multiple safety-related complaints involving non-functional carbon monoxide detectors and smoke detectors, as well as pest problems, unsanitary conditions, and window frame issues.

These complaints were filed on January 23, 2024, and while they were officially closed on April 25, 2024, the resolution indicates that HPD was unable to gain access for inspection, suggesting these issues may not have been properly addressed. The building has also faced recurring bedbug reporting requirements, with violations issued in 2021, 2022, and 2023 for failing to file the annual bedbug report, though these violations were ultimately closed. The most recent bedbug reports for the period ending October 31, 2024, indicate no infestations or eradication efforts required.

Additionally, there was an illegal work complaint filed in February 2024, which was also closed due to inspector access issues. On a positive note, the building passed rodent inspections in 2016 and 2017, and while an appliance-related issue was reported in early 2024, it appears to have been addressed as per HPD records. The building's maintenance history shows some persistent challenges with access for inspections and timely resolution of complaints, particularly regarding safety systems and pest control.
