18-73 Stanhope Street, Queens, NY 11385

The 4-unit, two-story Old Law Tenement building at 18-73 Stanhope Street in Ridgewood, built in 1930 and currently owned by 3781 Hope LLC, has experienced several notable incidents affecting resident safety and comfort over the past several years. In December 2018, the building faced multiple emergency situations regarding basic safety systems, including power outages and issues with both smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, though inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development found no violations during their investigation.

More recently, in March 2023, the building received a violation for failing to file the required annual bedbug report, a deficiency that had also been documented in April 2021. The building's bedbug reporting history from 2021 to present shows no infestations or related issues between 2020-2024, indicating successful compliance with eradication requirements. The property has undergone various inspections for rodent activity between 2015 and 2017, with initial failures noted in February 2015 and March 2017, though a compliance inspection in May 2017 passed.

A separate incident in December 2018 involved plumbing work that prompted a complaint about unauthorized work or missing permits, though the inspector was unable to gain access during their second final attempt to investigate the matter. While the building has had its share of safety-related incidents, recent years show improved compliance with bedbug management requirements, with no reported infestations since 2020. The most recent documented issue appears to be the March 2023 bedbug report violation, though no current violations are listed as of the latest inspection data available.
