1936 Grove Street, Queens, NY 11385

The 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building at 1936 Grove Street in Ridgewood, owned by Rodika Okolisan and constructed in 1915, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent violations emerging in late 2024. Most notably, there are currently open violations from November 2024 concerning lead paint hazards and various maintenance issues in apartment 1L, including problems with mailboxes affecting all floors (1L, 1R, 2L, 2R, 3L, 3R), and the condition of the north wall in the kitchen requiring both repair and repainting.

The building had multiple maintenance complaints in late 2024 regarding walls and flooring, though inspections were either completed with violations issued or could not be completed. Historic issues from 2021 included significant concerns with pests (rodents and cockroaches) in apartment 3R, various plumbing, flooring, and wall problems, though these violations were eventually closed.

The building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug control management, with no reported infestations in any of the annual filings from 2019 through 2023. Previous rodent inspections conducted in 2016, 2017, and 2021 all passed, suggesting that while the building has faced multiple maintenance challenges, some historical issues have been resolved. The property has experienced recurring issues with access for inspections, as evidenced by multiple instances where HPD could not complete inspections in both 2024 and 2021, though some complaints were still addressed through other means.
