1713 Bleecker Street, Queens, NY 11385

1713 Bleecker Street is a 3-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Almir Ljucevic. The building has experienced notable pest management challenges over the past several years, with multiple Bedbug Reporting violations recorded between 2022 and 2024. Most concerning is the period from November 2022 to October 2023, during which all 6 units reported bedbug infestations that were subsequently eradicated.

However, more recent filings from 2023-2024 show no reported infestations, suggesting possible resolution of this issue. The building currently faces active violations with the Department of Buildings for failing to submit mandatory external low-pressure inspection reports for the years 2018-2021, and while a violation from 2022 was dismissed, the persistence of these filing issues remains notable. Rodent inspections present a mixed picture of pest management.

The most recent rodent inspection in September 2024 passed, which is a positive sign, but looking back through the records reveals a history of rodent management efforts in 2013, including multiple bait applications and one failed initial inspection. Earlier rodent inspections from 2014, 2016, and 2017 passed, suggesting improved conditions, though the building has faced some recurring challenges. While the recent cessation of bedbug activity and current rodent compliance are encouraging, the building's history of pest control issues and the current active DOB violations for inspection filing non-compliance warrant attention to the building's maintenance history.
