1876 Harman Street, Queens, NY 11385
The 4-unit, 2-story Old Law Tenement building at 1876 Harman Street in Ridgewood, owned by Moses Karpen, has experienced several maintenance issues and concerning trends over recent years. Most notably, in late 2021, there were emergencies related to heating/hot water and a ventilation system, though these complaints were ultimately closed with no violations issued. A series of housing maintenance code violations was identified in December 2021, including issues with gas supply to an apartment, missing safety notices regarding carbon monoxide detectors and smoke detectors, and improper posting of required building information - all of which were subsequently closed.
The building has shown recurring rodent issues in recent inspections, with the most recent compliance inspection in October 2024 showing rat activity, following a pattern of similar findings throughout 2022-2024. Historical maintenance issues include a significant water leak and plumbing problems reported in October 2018, both of which were resolved. The building's recent bedbug reports from 2021-2024 show no infestations, indicating effective pest management.
There have been multiple complaints regarding illegal conversions between 2018-2019, though inspectors were unable to gain access to the premises. The building's infrastructure has faced various challenges, with rodent activity consistently appearing in inspection results between 2016-2024, though recent compliance inspections have shown improvements in this area. While many past violations have been addressed, the recurring nature of some issues, particularly regarding rodent presence and occasional water-related problems, suggests ongoing maintenance concerns.
