1879 Greene Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

1879 Greene Avenue is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building constructed in 1930, currently owned by Patrizia Quintana and classified as a New Law Tenement in Ridgewood. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues, particularly during late 2019 when multiple emergency complaints were filed between October 1 and November 2, including problems with fire escapes, door security, ceiling damage, and mold. Several violations from October 2019 remain open, including requirements to post gas leak procedures and housing information guides in English and Spanish.

The building has a history of safety and maintenance concerns, with particular attention needed to emergency window guard issues and an ongoing rodent problem in apartment 1L as of October 2019. Recent records show some improvement in building conditions. The bedbug reporting for 2022-2024 indicates no infestations or eradications during this period, and a rodent inspection conducted in September 2024 resulted in a passing grade.

The property has demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements over the past several years, with all filings showing zero affected units. While there were various maintenance issues noted in earlier years, such as non-self-closing doors and storage violations in 2018, most of these problems appear to have been resolved as evidenced by their closed violation status in subsequent inspections. The most recent housing maintenance code violations from 2019 are concerning, particularly given their open status, but the absence of new complaints or violations in the past two years suggests some improvement in building management.
