291 Onderdonk Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

The 4-unit, 2-story residential building at 291 Onderdonk Avenue in Ridgewood, owned by Keqi Wei and constructed in 1930, has experienced recurring pest-related issues over the past several years. Most recently, in mid-2023, there were complaints about unsanitary conditions and pests that HPD was unable to inspect due to access issues, following an earlier rodent sighting in 2021 that had similar access problems.

The building has been subject to three Housing Maintenance Code violations regarding Bedbug Reporting requirements between 2021-2022, though subsequent filings through 2024 show no reported infestations. Two significant access denial incidents were recorded in 2019 and 2022, related to illegal plumbing work and electrical wiring concerns respectively, which were marked as unable to gain inspector access on their second attempt.

The property has maintained relatively good compliance with rodent control requirements in recent years, passing inspections in 2012 and 2017, though it did fail one in 2012 for "Other Reasons." The most recent Bedbug Reporting history from 2021-2024 shows consistent reporting with zero infested units, suggesting effective management of bedbug concerns once they were initially addressed through the notice of violation. While the building has had multiple interaction with various city agencies regarding maintenance and pest issues, the persistent pattern of access denial for inspections continues to be notable, particularly for inspections related to potentially serious issues like electrical wiring and plumbing.
