18-69 Troutman Street, Queens, NY 11385

The three-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement building at 18-69 Troutman Street in Ridgewood, owned by Norberto Badillo and constructed in 1930, has experienced several notable events over recent years, with particular attention required on pest management compliance. The building has maintained an excellent record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in any unit between 2019 and the present, as confirmed by five consecutive bedbug reports from 2021 through 2025, including the most recent filing in July 2025 covering the 2023-2024 period.

However, there have been recurring violations related to bedbug reporting compliance itself, with Notices of Violation issued in both 2022 and 2023 for failure to file the required annual bedbug report, though these violations were subsequently closed. The building's rodent inspection history shows some concern, with rat activity noted during inspections in 2019 (initial and compliance), and previous compliance inspections in 2012 showing failed results for other reasons.

While the presence of rats was documented in 2019, the building passed rodent inspections in 2017 and 2012, suggesting some variability in pest management effectiveness. Additionally, there was one complaint recorded in 2018 regarding unauthorized plumbing work, though inspection access was denied and the complaint was ultimately closed without resolution. While the building has demonstrated regular compliance with various housing maintenance codes, the recurring nature of the bedbug reporting violations suggests an area requiring ongoing attention, despite the absence of actual bedbug infestations.
