582 Fairview Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

The 4-unit, 2-story New Law Tenement building at 582 Fairview Avenue in Ridgewood, owned by Brian Neville and constructed in 1915, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past decade. Most notably, the building faced a heat and hot water emergency in January 2020 that required HPD intervention, though the problem was reportedly resolved shortly thereafter. The building currently has an open violation from January 2020 relating to proper notifications for smoke detector requirements, while multiple open violations from the same period concern various safety notification requirements including carbon monoxide detector requirements, heating system access, and gas leak procedures.

A notable series of rodent activity was documented between 2018 and 2022, with regular bait applications recorded throughout 2022, though the most recent inspections in 2018 showed passed results. However, there have been positive developments in recent years regarding pest management and reporting compliance. The building's bedbug reporting records from 2021 through 2025 show consistent compliance with no reported infestations during any of the five annual reporting periods.

The most recent rodent inspection in 2022 indicated bait application was necessary, following several inspections between December 2021 and March 2022 showing rat activity, though these issues appear to have been addressed through bait treatment. Additionally, the building has demonstrated annual bedbug reporting compliance from 2020 onward, with no confirmed infestations during this period, suggesting improved pest management practices. While the building has a history of maintenance issues, particularly in 2020, the absence of recent heating system complaints and consistent bedbug reporting compliance indicate some improvements in building management practices.
