1882 Greene Avenue, Queens, NY 11385
The two-story, four-unit New Law tenement building at 1882 Greene Avenue in Ridgewood, owned by David Jacob and built in 1930, has a concerning history of maintenance issues and pest problems over recent years. Most notably, apartment 2R experienced a significant cluster of violations in February 2019, including hot water issues, missing window guards, infestations of roaches and mice, mold problems, and various safety concerns regarding doors and locks. While some violations from 2019 appear to have been resolved, the building has continued to face challenges with rodent activity, as evidenced by multiple "Failed for Other Reasons" and "Rat Activity" results in inspections throughout 2022, 2023, and 2024.
The property has demonstrated an ongoing need for attention to pest control, with four consecutive bedbug reports from 2020-2025 showing zero infestations, though recent rodent inspection results suggest continuing challenges. More recently, the building underwent an HPD investigation in October 2022 regarding mold conditions, which resulted in no violations being issued. The property has also required bedbug reporting compliance, with the most recent report for 2023-2024 showing no infested units.
Two complaints regarding illegal conversions and plumbing work in late 2019 and late 2021 were both closed due to inspector access issues. While the most recent bedbug reports suggest a resolution of that particular pest issue, the recurring rodent activity noted in multiple inspections through 2024 indicates ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's violation history shows a pattern of addressing issues, though some violations have remained open for extended periods, particularly those relating to sanitation and safety in apartment 2R.
