509 Onderdonk Avenue, Queens, NY 11385
The two-story, three-unit Old Law Tenement building at 509 Onderdonk Avenue in Ridgewood, currently owned by Pedro Morales, has experienced several concerning issues in recent years. Most notably, in December 2024, the building received multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations, including three open violations related to door functionality, window guards, and carbon monoxide detector requirements, as well as numerous administrative violations concerning required safety postings in common areas. These violations include problems with self-closing doors, missing window guards in apartment 2L, and inadequate notice of various safety requirements.
Additionally, there was a heat and hot water complaint in December 2024 that prompted an HPD inspection, though no violations were found. Between 2024 and 2025, there were multiple complaints regarding inadequate tattooing equipment/facilities that required DOHMH intervention. The building's history shows some positive maintenance record, with rodent inspections in 2016, 2017, 2022, and most recently in September 2024, all of which passed.
A 2022 complaint regarding rodent sightings was closed without violations being found. A permit for work was issued in August 2021. While the building has maintained compliance with rodent control requirements over the years, the recent cluster of violations in December 2024 and ongoing compliance issues regarding safety features represent a significant shift in the building's maintenance record.
