1731 Harman Street, Queens, NY 11385

The three-story, six-unit residential building at 1731 Harman Street in Ridgewood, owned by Dawn Coraggio, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past several years, with six documented complaints between 2019 and 2025. The most recent incident in February 2025 was resolved within days, as were previous incidents in 2023 and 2020, though inspectors were unable to gain access to the building on four occasions during these investigations.

The building has maintained a consistent record of filing bedbug reports annually from 2019 to 2025, with no reported infestations or treatments required during this period. Recent inspections revealed some concerning infrastructure matters. In 2023, a violation was issued for failure to file the 2022 external low-pressure inspection, though this was dismissed later that year, while a 2019 violation for failure to file the 2017 boiler inspection remains active.

A series of violations were recorded in 2020 related to public hall maintenance, including inadequate lighting, missing gas leak procedures, and the need for repainting and repair of fire retardant plaster materials in the third-story hall. The building has passed recent rodent inspections, with the most recent coming in September 2024 showing compliance. While the building has demonstrated attention to pest management through regular bedbug reporting, the recurring heat and hot water issues, along with some infrastructure violations, suggest ongoing maintenance challenges in this New Law Tenement built in 1930.
