1873 Harman Street, Queens, NY 11385

The 4-unit, 2-story tenement building at 1873 Harman Street in Ridgewood, owned by Christian Lopez, has a documented history of pest control issues and regulatory compliance challenges. As of 2025, the property has unresolved violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports for four consecutive years (2021-2024), receiving Class A Housing Maintenance Code violations.

More recently, in 2024, the building saw significant rodent control activity, with multiple bait applications and inspections showing both passed inspections and the application of bait throughout April to August 2024, indicating an ongoing effort to address rodent issues, though a rat sighting was reported in May 2024. The building's permit history shows several issued permits between 2019-2022 for various improvements, with a notable active ECB violation from May 2020 regarding work conducted during a stop-work order related to COVID-19, which resulted in a $5,000 penalty (now marked as paid).

The property has undergone regular rodent inspections in 2024, with both initial inspections and bait applications occurring frequently from April through August 2024, suggesting an active pest management program. Historical complaints show some concerns about unauthorized work and COVID-19 compliance in 2020, though inspections found no violations at those times. The building's structural and maintenance history dates back to its 1930 construction, typical for a New York "New Law" tenement, and current records maintain active status with various open violations requiring ongoing attention to regulatory compliance and building maintenance.
