1683 Grove Street, Queens, NY 11385

The three-story, three-unit Old Law Tenement building at 1683 Grove Street in Ridgewood, owned by Amy Yu, has been subject to several notable health and maintenance issues over the past several years. Most concerning are the ongoing bedbug reporting violations, with open Housing Maintenance Code violations documented in 2023 and 2024 for failure to file annual bedbug reports, though previous violations from 2021 and 2022 were closed.

The building's most recent inspection history shows a rodent-related service request in July 2024, though the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene found no violations at that time. The property has demonstrated a generally good track record with rodent inspections, passing multiple evaluations in 2015, 2016, 2017, and most recently in September 2024.

The building's permitted work history shows two permits issued in September 2018 for plumbing and exterior work, suggesting some maintenance activity during that period. While the rodent inspection results have consistently shown compliance, the persistent bedbug reporting violations, with no confirmed infestations reported between 2020-2021 according to the bedbug filing, indicate a pattern of administrative non-compliance rather than confirmed pest issues. The combination of recent health department inspections finding no violations and multiple successful rodent inspections suggests that while the building has faced some maintenance challenges, particularly regarding record-keeping compliance, these have not necessarily translated into direct resident health or safety concerns.
