1720 Greene Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

The 6-unit building at 1720 Greene Avenue in Ridgewood, owned by Daniel Gonzalez, has experienced ongoing pest management challenges over the past two years, particularly concerning rodent activity. Most recently, in October 2024, there were two reported rat sightings that triggered inspections, with one case noting prior complaints had been filed through the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH). The building has undergone multiple rodent-related inspections throughout 2024, with several instances of "Rat Activity" noted between January and October, though a compliance inspection in November 2024 resulted in a passing grade.

The property has also faced issues with compliance regarding annual bedbug reporting, receiving open violations as recent as April 2024, despite submitting a bedbug report for the period from November 2021 to October 2022 showing zero infested units. Additional concerns have been raised about potential illegal use of the property, with complaints filed in 2021 and October 2024 regarding possible unauthorized hotel room usage. However, in both instances, inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the claims, with the most recent complaint disposition dated December 2024 confirming this.

The building's management has implemented some pest control measures, as evidenced by multiple bait applications documented between January and September 2024, though inspections have repeatedly noted rodent activity. While the property has shown some compliance with rodent inspections, the recurring nature of these issues suggests ongoing challenges with pest management in the building.
