1878 Bleecker Street, Queens, NY 11385

1878 Bleecker Street is a 6-unit, 3-story New Law tenement building constructed in 1930, currently owned by Joel Fekete. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns being recurring electrical problems. Between February and June 2025, there were multiple power outages and lighting issues, with violations issued by HPD during inspections.

In late 2024, there was an entire building heat and hot water complaint, and earlier that same year, multiple apartments faced unsanitary conditions including pest infestations, mold, and water leaks. Notably, violations were documented in Apartment 1R in 2023-2024 regarding mold, water leaks, and pest problems. The building's emergency systems and safety features have also raised concerns, with multiple complaints about blocked or improper egress reported in mid-2024, leading to an active violation for obstructed fire escape access.

Historical records show some past regulatory issues, including a 2018 incident involving tampering with a Stop Work Order and unpermitted plumbing work, though these violations were ultimately resolved. On a positive note, the building has consistently reported zero bedbug infestations in recent years, and recent rodent inspections indicate compliance with pest control standards. The property has experienced various maintenance issues over time, but most of the current concerns appear to be concentrated around electrical systems and basic building maintenance.
