1869 Starr Street, Queens, NY 11385

The two-story, three-unit residential building at 1869 Starr Street in Ridgewood, owned by Dolores Giaco and built in 1910, has accumulated several notable regulatory violations over recent years, all of which warrant attention. Most concerning is a pattern of unresolved Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with four consecutive open violations recorded between 2021 and 2024 (April 2021, March 2022, March 2023, and April 2024) for failure to file the mandatory annual bedbug reports as required by HPD rules.

While the building passed an initial rodent inspection in February 2017, the persistence of the bedbug reporting violations over multiple years, now spanning more than three years (as of April 2024), suggests ongoing challenges with maintaining compliance with basic housing requirements. The building's regulatory history raises questions about the management's attentiveness to filing requirements mandated by housing authorities, particularly given these violations show no evidence of resolution through certified corrections.

For context, the structure's classification as an "OLD LAW TENEMENT" is consistent with its age and historical designation, though this classification is becoming increasingly rare in New York City. While the rodent inspection in 2017 was passed, the focus of inspection history in recent years has shifted primarily to bedbug reporting compliance, with no documentation of physical infestations or other safety concerns noted in the available records.
