608 Seneca Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

The two-story, three-unit New Law Tenement building at 608 Seneca Avenue in Ridgewood, owned by Irene Li and constructed in 1931, has exhibited several notable maintenance patterns over recent years. Most significantly, the building has faced consistent challenges with its bedbug reporting compliance, receiving four separate violations between 2021 and 2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required under Housing Maintenance Code § HMC.

While these violations were closed after the fact, they indicate previous regulatory compliance issues. The most recent bedbug report from May 2024 shows no infested units for the 2022-2023 period, suggesting successful eradication efforts. The building's pest control history reveals a significant rodent presence in 2022, with multiple bait applications documented between June and September 2022 following initial inspections showing rat activity.

However, a recent rodent inspection in September 2024 resulted in a "Passed" status, indicating improved building conditions. The only other documented maintenance issue was a water supply-related plumbing complaint in November 2020, which was investigated by HPD and ultimately closed without violations. This building's history suggests a trajectory of improved pest management in recent years, though the previous bedbug report compliance violations and the 2022 rodent activity indicate areas of past concern that have required attentive management.
