502 Woodward Avenue, Queens, NY 11385
The three-story, four-unit Old Law Tenement building at 502 Woodward Avenue in Ridgewood, owned by Jason Friedman and constructed in 1930, has experienced several notable maintenance and compliance events in recent years. Most significantly, there was a recent rodent and pest control concern, with a DOHMH complaint about rodents/insects/garbage from September 2023 that was closed in June 2024. The building has faced consistent challenges with bedbug reporting compliance, receiving four separate violations between 2021 and 2024 for failing to file annual bedbug reports as required under the Housing Maintenance Code.
The building's rodent management efforts have shown mixed results, with the most recent inspection in September 2024 passing, but multiple failed inspections occurred throughout 2022, particularly in the early months of that year. The property has had some infrastructure concerns, including a plumbing water supply issue in 2020 that resulted in an immediate emergency complaint, though no violations were ultimately issued. Various Department of Buildings complaints have been filed, including concerns about illegal commercial use and plumbing work in 2021, and more recent issues regarding posted notices and certificate of occupancy matters in 2024-2025, though inspections consistently found no violations warranted.
The building's bedbug management program appears to have improved in recent years, with the most recent 2025 filing showing five units previously infested (all eradicated), though earlier filings from 2024, 2023, and 2021 showed no reported infestations. The property has passed all recent rodent inspections, suggesting improvements in pest management, though historical data from 2018-2022 shows more frequent issues. While the building has faced various maintenance and compliance challenges over the years, recent patterns suggest efforts are being made to address these issues, with fewer violations and complaints being recorded in the most recent periods compared to the past.
