19 Charlotte Street, Queens, NY 11385

The two-family house at 19 Charlotte Street in Ridgewood, owned by Giyora Tsafrir, has been subject to recurring rodent issues over the past decade, with the most recent inspections in 2024 showing persistent rat activity in both June and July. The building's rodent inspection history reveals a pattern of alternating between rat activity and compliance, with significant findings including a failed inspection in November 2015 for unspecified reasons, and multiple instances requiring bait application between December 2014 and December 2015.

The property has experienced two notable plumbing-related complaints that suggest potential safety concerns: in December 2018 and January 2020, both involving illegal or unpermitted plumbing work and sprinkler/standpipe issues. While the January 2020 inspection resulted in an "Inspector Unable To Gain Access" finding, the previous December 2018 complaint was dismissed with no violations found at the time of inspection.

The building's health and safety record, particularly regarding pest control, indicates an ongoing challenge with maintaining vermin-free conditions, as evidenced by multiple rat activity findings throughout the inspection history. While the property appears to pass inspections periodically, the recurring nature of these problems suggests they are not permanently resolved.
