484 Seneca Avenue, Queens, NY 11385
484 Seneca Avenue is a 4-story, 20-unit residential building constructed in 1931 in Ridgewood, currently owned by Charles Schwartz. The building has experienced a range of maintenance and safety issues over the past two years, with persistent water-related problems being particularly noteworthy. Between September and November 2023, there were multiple reports of water leaks, including both heavy flows and slow leaks, though HPD was often unable to gain access for inspection.
More recently, in June 2025, a mold emergency was reported and closed within a week, adding to the building's water-related concerns. Other notable issues include pest infestations (with both unsanitary conditions and pest complaints filed in 2023-2024), window and door maintenance problems, and ventilation concerns regarding indoor air quality. The building's violation history shows a significant inspection in January 2020, which resulted in several administrative violations related to safety and maintenance notifications, including requirements for gas leak procedures, smoke detector requirements, and carbon monoxide detector requirements.
Most of these violations were subsequently closed by January 21, 2020. Recent building assessments have shown some improvement, with successful rodent inspections in 2024, and the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations over multiple reporting periods from 2021-2025, with no identified units showing signs of infestation. The property has undergone regular inspections and audits, with some complaints about vent/exhaust issues in 2023-2024, though inspectors were often unable to gain access for verification. A construction permit was issued in December 2018, though no specific details about the work completed under this permit are available in the provided data.
