413 Seneca Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

The two-story, four-unit residential building at 413 Seneca Avenue in Ridgewood, owned by Joel Fekete, has a documented history of maintenance issues, particularly in recent years. The most concerning pattern has been the recurring mold problems, with multiple complaints filed under unsanitary conditions between 2020 and 2022.

In January 2020, there were also two reported sewage leak incidents, though no violations were ultimately issued. The building underwent significant inspections in July 2022, which resulted in several class B violation notices regarding water leaks, roof issues, fire retardant materials, and smoke detector problems in Apartment 1R. These violations included concerns about water leaks in both the first and second story public areas and defects in fire safety materials.

Despite these challenges, there has been no documented evidence of bedbug infestations in the building over the past five reporting periods from 2019 through 2024, suggesting effective pest management practices. Additionally, the building has passed all rodent inspections conducted in 2013, 2014, and 2017, indicating satisfactory conditions regarding this particular pest. Recent bedbug reports (2024 and 2023) show zero infested units or eradication efforts needed, and there are no active violations on record as of the most recent inspection cycle, though it's worth noting that the two most recent bedbug filing periods (2023-2024 and 2022-2023) may not fully reflect current conditions due to their annual reporting nature.
