365 Onderdonk Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

The three-story, five-unit residential building at 365 Onderdonk Avenue in Ridgewood, owned by Joseph Caputo, has a notable history of pest-related issues and regulatory compliance challenges. Most concerning is the current open violation from 2024 regarding the failure to file the required annual bedbug report under Housing Maintenance Code, a pattern that has persisted since 2021 when the first such violation was recorded.

The building experienced multiple food establishment-related complaints between 2019 and 2021, specifically concerning rodents/insects/garbage, though these were all closed with the notation that the issues had been addressed. While the building's rodent inspections from 2017 showed no problems, an inspection from 2011 had documented rat activity. The property is currently facing an active complaint as of June 2025 regarding an illegal or improper vent/exhaust system, though no inspection or disposition details are available yet.

The bedbug reporting submitted in 2021 for the period from November 2019 to October 2020 indicated no infested or eradicated units, and no re-infestation, suggesting either effective management of the situation during that specific period or possible underreporting. It's worth noting that the building is classified as a "New Law Tenement," a designation that typically applies to certain pre-1947 residential buildings in New York City subject to specific rent regulation laws. The building's age (built in 1930) and the presence of multiple open violations related to pest management and reporting requirements point to ongoing challenges with regulatory compliance and potentially to maintenance oversight, though many earlier complaints and violations have been resolved.
