311 Onderdonk Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

This 2-story, 4-unit New Law Tenement building at 311 Onderdonk Avenue in Ridgewood, built in 1930 and currently owned by 311 Onderdonk LLC, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in early 2025. Most notably, there was a recurring pattern of heat and hot water outages affecting the entire building during January 2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed between January 4-8, 2025. While these complaints were subsequently closed, they indicate a persistent problem with the building's heating system.

The building has also faced multiple infrastructure challenges, including plumbing and water supply issues documented in October 2024, and pest infestations reported in December 2024, though HPD inspections were unable to be completed in these cases. The property has outstanding violations related to building safety and maintenance requirements as of October 2024, including issues with door security, heating system access information, and the need to post important safety notices regarding carbon monoxide detectors and gas leak procedures in common areas. Historical compliance concerns are evident from 2021-2024, including the need for Annual Bedbug Report filings and documentation of inspection visits.

The building has experienced consistent rodent activity, with inspections in 2023-2024 showing rat presence despite multiple baiting attempts in 2021. Recent building complaints also include a smoking/vaping incident in January 2025 that violated smoke-free area regulations. While many complaints have been closed after investigation, the frequency and variety of issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges that impact resident comfort and safety.
