1732 Harman Street, Queens, NY 11385

The three-story, six-unit New Law Tenement at 1732 Harman Street in Ridgewood, owned by Marek Drozd and constructed in 1930, has experienced several significant maintenance challenges in recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, with emergency complaints recorded in February 2024 (apartment only) and January 2022 (entire building), though inspections found no violations in the 2024 incidents.

The building has also faced persistent pest management challenges, as evidenced by 311 complaints and Housing Maintenance Code violations for unsanitary conditions and pests in 2024, with rodent activity reported in 2024-2025 inspections, though bait was applied in February 2025. The property has required annual bedbug reporting compliance, with violations noted in 2021-2023 for failure to file the required report, though recent filings for 2023-2024 indicate no current infestations.

A notable safety compliance issue was recorded in 2022 with household items obstructing the third-story public hall, marked as an open Class B violation at that time. While there have been multiple heat and hot water complaints and pest-related issues, it's worth noting that many recent complaints have been closed without violations. The most recent external low-pressure inspection violation from April 2023 was dismissed by December 2023.
