18-65 Troutman Street, Queens, NY 11385

18-65 Troutman Street is a three-story, six-unit residential building located in Ridgewood, Queens, and owned by Gina Lasorsa. The 1931 New Law Tenement building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past five years. Most notably, there were documented power outages in July 2019 and heat/hot water issues affecting the entire building in December 2018, both emergency situations that required HPD intervention but were closed without inspection due to lack of access.

The building currently has an open violation from July 2019 regarding a fire escape obstruction caused by an air conditioner protruding from the second-story balcony, representing a potential safety concern. Historical records show recurring maintenance challenges, including a hot water violation specific to apartment 6 in 1996 that was certified as resolved in 2009. The building's pest control history is notably clear, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past eight years (2016-2024) according to the mandatory bedbug reporting system.

Rodent inspections show mixed results, with failures in 2013 and 2012, but successful compliance in 2017. While the open violation from 2019 regarding fire escape obstruction remains, the building's recent bedbug and rodent inspections suggest improved conditions in these areas. The building's age and history of utility-related issues indicate potential maintenance challenges, though the absence of recent bedbug or rodent problems may suggest some improvements in pest control and building maintenance practices.
