17-22 Himrod Street, Queens, NY 11385

The three-story, six-unit residential building at 17-22 Himrod Street in Ridgewood was constructed in 1931 and is currently owned by Ivan Cruz. The property has experienced several significant events over the past few years, with particular attention required to its pest management compliance. In 2018, there was an emergency complaint regarding unsanitary conditions related to pests, though city inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the reported issues.

Notably, between 2021 and 2024, the building received three Class A violations for failing to file the required annual bedbug reports with HPD, though these violations were subsequently closed. However, the most recent bedbug reports from July 2025 through the previous filing periods consistently show zero infested units, indicating effective pest management since resolving the reporting compliance issues. The building has maintained a strong record of rodent control, with the most recent inspection in September 2024 resulting in a "Passed" rating, following similar results in 2017, 2014, and 2013.

This consistent passing record suggests effective pest management practices, despite the earlier bedbug reporting violations. The property's historical data shows a pattern of timely maintenance and compliance once the bedbug reporting issues were addressed, with no new infestations reported since 2023 and no recurring issues documented in recent inspections. The building's age and historical context as a "New Law Tenement" are consistent with typical residential buildings of its era in New York City, though the recent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements and passing rodent inspections indicate improved attention to pest management and building maintenance.
