1723 Bleecker Street, Queens, NY 11385

At 1723 Bleecker Street in Ridgewood, this 3-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement built in 1930 has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues in early 2025, with seven separate complaints filed between February 22-25, 2025, affecting either individual apartments or entire building. These recent emergencies follow a pattern of maintenance challenges, including a significant water leak in November 2023 and plumbing issues in September 2023.

The building's violation history shows several open concerns as of 2024, including problems with roof leaks over the 3rd-story public hall, defective rain leader at the east wall in the inner courtyard, and issues with self-closing doors and smoke detector requirements. The property has maintained a relatively consistent record regarding pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past five years across multiple annual filings (2019-2025).

Regular rodent inspections have generally passed, with the most recent inspections in 2023 and 2024 showing compliance. While there have been various maintenance issues documented through 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code Violations, the building has shown responsiveness to some violations, as evidenced by several being certified as corrected between 2023-2024, though several structural and safety concerns remain open. The current owner, Eric Setton, has presided over the building during this period of persistent maintenance challenges, particularly regarding heating systems and building infrastructure.
