1718 Greene Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

The three-story, six-unit tenement at 1718 Greene Avenue in Ridgewood, owned by Juan Jerez, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues, most notably involving heating and hot water systems. The building has recorded five significant heating system complaints between 2019 and 2022, with both entire building and individual apartment issues reported. Most recently, in March 2022, multiple violations were documented regarding heating system access, inadequate heat supply, and various maintenance issues in Apartment 3R, including mold, door repairs, and floor covering concerns, though these violations were subsequently closed.

The building also has an active Department of Buildings violation from June 2023 regarding failure to file the 2021 External Low-Pressure Inspection report. Temperature control issues appear to have been resolved, as evidenced by the absence of heating complaints since early 2022. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all annual reports from 2022 through 2024 showing zero infested units.

Recent rodent inspections have been favorable, with the most recent inspection in September 2024 passing without issues. Historical illegal conversion complaints from 2020 and 2022 were unable to gain access for verification. The property has shown consistent acknowledgment and remediation of heating and maintenance issues, though access problems for inspections have occurred on multiple occasions. The most recent documented violations from March 2022 showed multiple code infractions, including inadequate heat supply and maintenance issues in a specific apartment, though these have been addressed and closed.
