285 Onderdonk Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

The two-story, four-unit New Law Tenement building at 285 Onderdonk Avenue in Ridgewood, owned by Daniel Mahfar and constructed in 1930, has undergone several noteworthy inspections and compliance requirements over the past decade. Most recently, in April 2024, there are active compliance inspections related to Local Law 188/17 requirements, which are currently unresolved.

The building has experienced consistent bedbug reporting requirements from 2021 to present, with violations noted in 2021 through 2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though recent filings indicate no reported infestations during the periods covered. These filings from 2022-2023 show zero infested or eradicated units, suggesting either effective management or perhaps previous reporting compliance issues. The property has a history of maintenance and compliance events, including two closed complaints in 2023 related to work without a permit, which was found to warrant no violation at the time of inspection.

Earlier records show mixed results in rodent inspections, with the building failing an initial inspection in March 2017 but passing subsequent inspections in May 2017 and August 2014. There was also a complaint in 2019 regarding unauthorized plumbing work, though the inspector was unable to gain access to assess the situation. The pattern of bedbug report violations from 2021-2024, despite recent filings showing no infestations, and the current active complaints regarding Local Law 188/17 compliance represent the most significant ongoing compliance issues at this address, while historical data suggests periods of both proper maintenance and some regulatory lapses.
