1872 Starr Street, Queens, NY 11385

The three-story, four-unit building at 1872 Starr Street in Ridgewood, owned by 1872 Starr LLC, has experienced several notable issues since 2022. Most recently, in 2024, there were two complaints regarding after-hours work and work without a permit in August, though inspections conducted in September found no violations. The building has demonstrated ongoing challenges with pest control, particularly evident in 2022 when residents reported unsanitary conditions and rodent problems, though these were addressed through HPD inspections.

In 2023 and 2024, the building received multiple violations related to safety notice requirements, including the need to post information about carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detector requirements, and gas leak procedures, though these were categorized as Class A violations and have since been closed. The property underwent significant scrutiny during 2023, with various maintenance code violations being documented and subsequently resolved. These included issues with window guards in Apartment 4, self-closing doors in Apartment 1, and the need to address a cockroach infestation in Apartment 4.

The building's bedbug reporting history from 2023-2024 shows no recorded infestations or eradication efforts during these periods, suggesting an improvement in pest management protocols. While the property has experienced recurring pest-related issues in the past, recent inspections have generally resulted in "Passed" findings regarding rodent inspections and other routine checks. The building's age (constructed in 1930) as an "Old Law Tenement" has required owners to comply with various safety and maintenance regulations, some of which have resulted in violations that were later addressed.
