1865 Grove Street, Queens, NY 11385
**1865 Grove Street (Ridgewood, NYC)** is a two-story, four-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Stephen Ficano. The property has experienced recurring rodent issues over the past few years, with the most recent inspections in 2024 (September and October) showing rat activity.
Between 2022 and 2023, there were multiple reports of rat sightings and conditions attracting rodents, including four reported cases in 2023 alone. The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene has conducted several follow-up inspections, though specific violation records are limited to the most recent inspections available through the NYC Rat Portal. The building has also faced various maintenance challenges, including a significant electrical issue reported in July 2023 regarding insufficient lighting, which was investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development.
Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2022 and 2024 indicate several areas needing attention, particularly in Apartment 2R, where violations were documented for bathroom plaster and paint conditions. Additional concerns were noted regarding building safety, including a defective fire egress ladder to the roof scuttle opening and obstructions in public hall stairs, though these violations appear to have been addressed based on certification dates. While the building has maintained a zero-tolerance policy towards bedbugs, as evidenced by consistent reporting with no infestations recorded between 2020 and 2024, the ongoing rodent issues represent the most persistent challenge facing the property, with multiple inspections showing varying levels of rat activity between 2018 and 2024.
