17-07 Stanhope Street, Queens, NY 11385

The three-story, six-unit tenement at 17-07 Stanhope Street in Ridgewood, owned by Jack Peled, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past five years. Most notably, there have been three emergency complaints related to safety and basic services since 2024, including a fire escape safety complaint in July 2024 and a heat/hot water issue in January 2024.

The building's maintenance history shows recurring concerns about waste management and rodent presence, with a documented garbage/recycling storage unsanitary condition in March 2023 and rat activity noted during inspections in July 2023, though a subsequent compliance inspection passed. While the building has maintained an active bedbug reporting record showing zero infestations in all annual filings from 2021 through 2025, there have been multiple violations related to bedbug reporting requirements identified in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024. The property has had various other maintenance issues requiring attention, including a self-closing door problem in July 2023 at the first-story public hall, though this violation was subsequently closed.

Historical records show a rodent sighting in 2020, and the building underwent inspections in 2017-2020 that generally passed rodent compliance checks. An illegal conversion complaint from 2019 was found to be unsubstantiated based on department records. While the most recent violations have been addressed and closed, the pattern of recurring maintenance issues suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep and resident comfort.
