18-75 Stanhope Street, Queens, NY 11385

18-75 Stanhope Street is a 2-story, 4-unit old law tenement building located in Ridgewood, built in 1930 and currently owned by Robert Livote. The building has experienced several notable maintenance issues over the past five years, most significantly in early 2021 when there were two separate emergency complaints about lack of heat and hot water affecting the entire building, though these issues were reportedly resolved within days of the complaints. More recently, the building received four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations between 2021 and 2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though these violations were marked as closed.

A boiler-related complaint was filed in December 2020, and while an inspection was scheduled for January 2021, the inspector was unable to gain access. Additionally, a plumbing complaint from December 2018 regarding potentially illegal work was investigated but no violations were found at the time of inspection. The building's pest management history shows a generally positive trend, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past three reporting periods (2021-2024), and consistent reporting of "0" infested units in the official bedbug filings.

Rodent inspections have shown mostly good results, with the most recent inspections in 2015 and 2017 passing, though there was one instance in February 2015 noting rat activity. The building's maintenance history suggests attention to regulatory requirements, as evidenced by the regular bedbug reporting, though the earlier heat and hot water issues indicate some challenges with building systems. The most recent inspection findings indicate that the building is being monitored for compliance with health and safety regulations.
