17-01 Himrod Street, Queens, NY 11385
The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 17-01 Himrod Street in Ridgewood, built in 1930 and currently owned by Vera Zeqiraj, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, between April and May 2025, there were multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions involving pests, and violations were issued in connection with mold issues in both April and October 2024. The building has also faced serious heating and water issues, with an emergency complaint in December 2024 regarding heat/hot water problems that was resolved during the inspection, and plumbing concerns related to radiators in October 2024.
Additional problems in October 2024 included violations related to paint/plaster issues, with one set of violations specifically concerning an inspection of apartment 2L that noted multiple maintenance issues including defective plaster surfaces, painting requirements, and flooring concerns. The building's recent history shows recurring issues with pest control and tenant safety, including violations of housing maintenance codes. Notable safety concerns emerged in August 2024 regarding missing smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detecting devices in apartment 2R, along with an "open" violation regarding excessively hot water (150 degrees) in that apartment.
While there have been three bedbug infestation reports (2019, 2021, and 2023) showing varying levels of infestation, the most recent reports indicate no affected units. The building has maintained generally good standing in rodent inspections, passing all recent inspections since 2014, though there was one failure noted in 2013. The most recent series of inspections and complaints suggest ongoing challenges with moisture-related issues (mold), sanitary conditions, and some infrastructure maintenance problems that affect resident comfort and safety.
