1724 Greene Avenue, Queens, NY 11385
The 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building at 1724 Greene Avenue in Ridgewood, owned by Roy Gerstner, has experienced a range of maintenance issues in recent years, with the most concerning being a cluster of violations identified in late 2024 and early 2025. During October 2024, multiple violations were issued for problems including wall and ceiling paint conditions, window frame issues, and sanitary concerns, particularly regarding pests.
More serious concerns emerged in March 2025, when emergency complaints were filed and subsequently addressed regarding fire escape and carbon monoxide detector violations. The building has also faced recurring maintenance challenges with doors and windows, flooring, and various plumbing issues, as evidenced by multiple 311 complaints throughout 2024 and 2025. The property has shown some positive trends, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past three years (2022-2025), though historical rodent inspections paint a mixed picture: while the building passed a compliance inspection in November 2024, it had rat activity noted in September 2024 and several failed inspections between 2014 and 2022.
The building's violation history indicates ongoing maintenance challenges, with noteworthy citations including problematic self-closing doors, broken vinyl floor tiles in Apartment 1L, and various issues with the entrance and vestibule areas. An active Department of Buildings violation from November 2019 suggests an unaddressed issue regarding the failure to file an annual boiler inspection report for 2017. While many violations have been marked as "Closed" following correction, the frequency and variety of issues suggest ongoing building maintenance attention may be required.
