1738 Greene Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

1738 Greene Avenue is a three-story, three-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Klever Romero and located in the Ridgewood neighborhood. The building's recent history shows consistent attention to bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent filing in July 2024 indicating no active infestations during the reporting period from November 2022 to October 2023. While there were multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations recorded between 2021 and 2024 regarding the filing of annual bedbug reports, all these violations have been closed.

The building's rodent inspection history demonstrates generally good maintenance practices, with the most recent inspection in September 2024 resulting in a passing grade. The earlier inspections show some concerns, particularly in 2012 when rat activity was noted in both April and June, though subsequent inspections from 2013 onward have consistently passed. Two complaints filed in 2019 regarding construction and permit issues were investigated but no violations were found.

The building's maintenance record shows a pattern of compliance with the majority of housing codes, particularly in recent years, with successful rodent inspections becoming the norm since 2016. The transition from multiple bedbug violation notices in 2021-2024 to a clean bedbug report in 2024 suggests improved pest management practices, though the initial focus on filing requirements indicates there may have been some oversight in administrative compliance. The age of the building (115 years old) and its history as a New Law Tenement are important context, as these buildings were typically constructed with lower-cost materials and may require more frequent maintenance compared to newer constructions. The property has had no recorded incidents or violations that would directly impact resident safety, though the historical rodent activity noted in 2012 and 2016 is worth noting as the building's only significant past health-related concern.
