1820 Grove Street, Queens, NY 11385

The three-story, four-unit Old Law Tenement building at 1820 Grove Street in Ridgewood, owned by Angel Vega, has experienced several notable events affecting resident conditions since 2021. Most recently, in February 2023, there was a heat and hot water emergency that required intervention from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development, though these essential services were reported as restored shortly thereafter.

The building currently has two open Class A violations related to the failure to file the required annual bedbug report for 2023 and 2024, continuing a pattern established in previous years (2021 and 2022) when similar violations were issued and subsequently closed. A work without permit complaint was investigated in March 2021 but resulted in no violations being found.

Despite these compliance issues, the building has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections, with the most recent one conducted in September 2024 showing no problems, and previous inspections dating back to 2013 also confirming a pest-free environment. The property has shown proper documentation regarding bedbug infestations for the periods 2019-2020 and 2020-2021, reporting zero infested units in both filings, though the failure to submit annual reports in 2023 and 2024 has resulted in open violations. While the heat and hot water emergency in 2023 raises some concerns about building systems, the prompt resolution of that particular incident is noted.
