17-32 Menahan Street, Queens, NY 11385

The 3-unit, 3-story tenement building at 17-32 Menahan Street in Ridgewood, owned by Lillian Roman and constructed in 1920, has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years. The most concerning pattern involves recurring violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with open violations recorded annually from 2021 through 2024, indicating a persistent failure to comply with Housing Maintenance Code requirements for filing annual bedbug reports with HPD.

This pattern suggests ongoing challenges with infestation management and regulatory compliance. The building's rodent control history shows a mix of results, with the most recent rat activity documented in July 2017, though inspections conducted in September 2024 passed. Earlier inspections from 2016 to 2014 consistently passed, indicating temporary resolution of rodent issues.

The property has maintained active rodent control efforts, as demonstrated by recent inspections, though the 2017 rat activity incidents raise historical concerns about pest management effectiveness. Overall, while recent rodent inspections have shown improvement with passing results, the ongoing bedbug reporting violations represent the most significant current compliance issue affecting the property. The building's age and history of pest-related violations highlight the importance of continued attention to maintenance and compliance requirements.
