1820 Dekalb Avenue, Queens, NY 11385
The two-story, four-unit New Law Tenement building at 1820 Dekalb Avenue in Ridgewood, owned by Jaco Zicherman and constructed in 1930, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety incidents over the past decade. Most recently, in mid-2023, the property received emergency safety complaints regarding both smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, though these issues were subsequently verified as corrected by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).
The building has a documented history of rodent activity, with multiple inspections between 2013 and 2022 showing varying degrees of rat presence, including notable activity in 2021 and 2022, despite some passing results in earlier years. While the building faced two Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2021 and 2022 regarding bedbug reporting requirements, it's worth noting that subsequent bedbug reports for 2022-2024 indicate zero infested dwelling units.
Most recently, in mid-2025, a non-emergency complaint regarding unsanitary pest conditions was recorded. The property has shown some attention to compliance with reporting requirements, as evidenced by the absence of reported infestations in bedbug filings for multiple consecutive years.
