413 Onderdonk Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

The 6-unit, 3-story Old Law Tenement building at 413 Onderdonk Avenue in Ridgewood, owned by Kujtim Morina, has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in 2025. The building, constructed in 1930, has documented problems with rodent infestations, including multiple complaints in 2025, and inspection results showing rat activity through 2024. Of particular concern are the building's recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple complaints in 2025 indicating problems affecting both individual apartments and the entire building.

Several service requests in 2025, including those regarding fire escape safety, intercom systems, and garbage storage, were closed due to inspectors being unable to gain access for evaluation. The property has a history of various maintenance violations documented through the Housing Maintenance Code and Department of Buildings, including issues with electrical systems, plumbing, and building safety features. Notable recent incidents include multiple plumbing-related service requests in June 2025, all categorized as emergency situations, and several electrical complaints. The building has undergone multiple rodent control efforts, with bait applied during inspections throughout 2024 and 2025.

While there have been some resolved violations, including a December 2022 issue regarding a corroded steam pipe and a 2022 violation concerning combustible materials, the persistence of certain problems, particularly relating to heat/hot water and pest control, suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's historical bedbug reporting records for 2021-2024 show no infestations, and there have been multiple inspections for rodent activity, with mixed results. The recent period has seen an increase in complaints and violations, particularly in 2025, with multiple service requests and inspections not resulting in direct resolutions due to access issues. The property owner has been served various violations through the Environmental Control Board for not maintaining building standards, though some complaints, including those related to elevator service and building shaking, resulted in no violations being found upon inspection.
