18-22 Menahan Street, Queens, NY 11385

The two-story, four-unit building at 18-22 Menahan Street in Ridgewood, currently owned by Jelena Dimitraskovic, has a documented history of maintenance and pest control issues dating back to 2018. Most recently, in December 2022, there was a heat and hot water emergency complaint that required HPD intervention, though this was resolved within three days.

The building has consistently received citations regarding its annual bedbug reporting compliance between 2021 and 2024, indicating a pattern of administrative oversight in maintaining required documentation, despite the most recent 2024 bedbug report showing no infestations or eradications. The property has experienced rodent-related challenges, particularly notable in 2020 when there were multiple rat sightings, though subsequent inspections from 2021 through 2024 consistently passed with no violations.

The building underwent several rodent inspections between 2018 and 2024, with some inspections showing rat activity and others passing without issue, suggesting that while rodent control has improved over time, there were significant challenges in the past. The oldest records from 2018 include instances of bait application in April of that year. While the building has shown improvement in both rodent control and bedbug reporting compliance in recent years, the historical pattern of pest-related issues and the administrative violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements warrant attention to the building's past maintenance challenges.
