464 Onderdonk Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

This two-family home at 464 Onderdonk Avenue in Ridgewood, built in 1930 and currently owned by Carlos Calderon, has experienced several concerning incidents and violations over the past decade. Most recently, in June 2025, the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene opened a case regarding potential food establishment violations involving pets or animals, with the owner receiving written notification and a warning to correct the situation.

There is an active violation as of September 2024 regarding the failure to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection. The building has a troubling history of inspection access issues, with multiple complaints regarding electrical wiring defects, permit issues, and gas-related concerns between 2020-2023, all marked by inspectors being unable to gain access despite multiple attempts.

The property has also faced issues related to unauthorized hotel rooms in 2020, which was referred to the NYPD for investigation. While the building's rodent inspections from 2013-2017 consistently passed, suggesting some level of maintenance in that area, the recent health department involvement and active violations indicate ongoing concerns about building management. The two-family structure has maintained its original configuration of two stories, typical for its building class, and the current documented issues suggest potential challenges in building maintenance and compliance, particularly regarding access for inspections and timely filing of required safety certifications.
