1822 Grove Street, Queens, NY 11385

The 3-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement building at 1822 Grove Street in Ridgewood, owned by Laura Li and constructed in 1930, has experienced several notable issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns centering around safety systems and pest control. In late 2024, the building faced significant rodent issues, with confirmed rat activity reported during inspections in September and November, despite previous compliance inspections in 2016-2017 showing passing results.

The building also showed substantial violations related to safety equipment in late 2024, particularly in Apartment 1L, including non-functional carbon monoxide detectors, missing smoke detectors, and defective self-closing kitchen doors, though some violations have been closed through certification. Prior to these issues, the building experienced a heat and hot water outage affecting all units in January 2019, which was reportedly resolved promptly. The property has maintained regular bedbug reporting compliance from 2019 through 2024, with no documented infestations in any of the reporting periods.

Additionally, the building had an administrative violation in 2019 regarding an unfiled boiler inspection report, which was dismissed in 2021. Recent inspections have shown ongoing challenges with rodent control, with November 2024 inspections noting rat activity, marking a continued concern despite previous periods of relative compliance. The building's history suggests a pattern of both maintenance and pest control challenges, with varying degrees of resolution over time.
