1732 Grove Street, Queens, NY 11385

1732 Grove Street is a 3-story, 3-unit residential building located in Ridgewood, built in 1901 and currently owned by Jacob Wiznitzer. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past two years, with the most recent cluster of complaints in mid-2024 focusing on ventilation system problems across multiple reports, though no violations were issued following HPD inspections.

Other recent issues include water leak concerns (uninspected in July 2024), electrical issues (July 2024), and plumbing problems (May 2024), with all these cases being closed without violations. In 2023, the building faced notable sanitary challenges, including violations for mold and pest infestations in July, particularly affecting the second-floor apartment. Multiple HPD violations were issued in September 2023 for Apartment 2, including problems with self-closing doors, electrical wiring in the kitchen, and various building maintenance issues affecting public areas.

The building's maintenance history shows ongoing attention to rodent control, with multiple baiting operations conducted in 2025 continuing from earlier efforts, though inspections revealed periods of rat activity in late 2024 and early 2023. While there have been no reported bedbug infestations in recent years, the building has experienced various maintenance issues requiring attention to building systems and safety concerns, particularly affecting common areas and individual units. Recent inspections and service requests suggest an active but reactive approach to building maintenance, with multiple issues requiring attention to ventilation systems, plumbing, and electrical infrastructure.
