1823 Bleecker Street, Queens, NY 11385

The 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building at 1823 Bleecker Street in Ridgewood, owned by Huijiao Xu and constructed in 1930, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past five years. Most notably, in December 2018, there was a series of emergency heat and hot water complaints affecting both the entire building and individual apartments, which ultimately required HPD intervention to restore services.

Multiple violations were documented during this period, including issues with carbon monoxide detectors, plumbing systems (including steam pipes), electrical problems, and safety equipment (smoke detectors). The building has also had ongoing bedbug reporting requirements, with annual reports filed between 2021-2024 showing zero infested units each year.

Recent inspections in 2023 and 2024 indicated compliance with rodent control measures, though there was one instance of rat activity noted in July 2023. As of the current date, all previously documented violations from 2018 remain open, primarily affecting the first-floor apartment (1F) with issues including water leaks, plumbing problems, and various maintenance concerns.
