18-71 Stanhope Street, Queens, NY 11385

The 4-unit, 2-story building at 18-71 Stanhope Street in Ridgewood, owned by Giacomo Ferreri, has a notable pattern of housing maintenance code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements. Since 2021 and continuing through April 2024, the property has accumulated four open Class A violations, all citing failure to file the mandatory annual bedbug report as required by HPD regulations.

These recurring violations, which represent the only current open violations on record, suggest a chronic issue with compliance despite being continuous in nature rather than directly impacting resident safety. The building's history shows limited additional concerns from regulatory agencies, with only one Department of Buildings complaint filed in December 2018 regarding allegedly unpermitted plumbing work, including sprinkler/standpipe concerns, which was investigated and found to have no warranted violations.

Prior to this, a rodent inspection in March 2017 was conducted and passed without issue. The property, classified as an "OLD LAW TENEMENT" and constructed in 1930, has maintained its basic infrastructure without major incidents on record, but the repeated bedbug reporting violations represent the most significant ongoing regulatory oversight concern in recent years.
