1822 Greene Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

1822 Greene Avenue is a 3-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement building located in the Ridgewood neighborhood, owned by Jack Leone and constructed in 1930. The building has experienced recurring pest-related issues over recent years, most notably receiving a Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) complaint for unsanitary conditions and pests in November 2019.

While no violations were issued following the inspection, more concerning is the failure to file annual bedbug reports in both 2022 and 2024, resulting in class A housing maintenance code violations. The bedbug reporting history shows consistent compliance with zero infested units reported from 2019 through the most recent filing in December 2024. The building has faced challenges with rodent control, particularly evident in 2023-2024, where multiple inspections revealed rat activity, including a failed inspection in August 2023.

While the most recent rodent inspection in September 2024 passed, it's notable that the building did not prepare or submit its 2023 external low-pressure inspection filing, which remains an active violation as of September 2024. The building's inspection history shows a pattern of rodent activity interruptions, with compliance inspections alternating between passed and failed results over the years. Despite these challenges, the property has maintained an overall record of filing bedbug reports with no confirmed infestations, though the building's management has demonstrated inconsistent compliance with both bedbug reporting requirements and rodent control measures.
