438 Stockholm Street, Queens, NY 11385

The two-family house at 438 Stockholm Street in Ridgewood, currently owned by William Bianco, is a two-story building constructed in 1930 that has experienced ongoing rodent issues over the past few years. Most notably, from 2024 through early 2025, there has been a persistent pattern of rodent activity, evidenced by multiple 311 service requests and Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) inspections.

Two recent DOHMH complaints in June and April 2024 documented rodent problems, with the April complaint noting violations that required follow-up inspections. Inspections throughout 2024 and early 2025 show a consistent intervention pattern, with multiple instances of bait application between February and September 2024, and a December 2024 compliance inspection revealing rat activity. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations between 2020 and 2024, with all annual reports showing zero infested units or eradication efforts.

A building stability complaint was filed in April 2025 for a different property address (11385), but inspections performed the following day found no violations related to the complaint. The property's rodent management efforts appear to follow a pattern of initial bait application followed by inspections, though recent complaints indicate ongoing rodent presence as of mid-2024. The building's age and persistent rodent activity suggest continued monitoring of pest control efforts is necessary, though the absence of other significant violations or infestation issues in recent years is note-worthy.
