1686 Grove Street, Queens, NY 11385

The three-story, three-unit building at 1686 Grove Street in Ridgewood, owned by Jin Lin and constructed in 1915 as an Old Law Tenement, has maintained a generally favorable record over the past several years. Most notably, the property has consistently passed rodent inspections conducted annually from 2016 through 2024, demonstrating effective pest management practices.

The building's most pressing current concern involves an open Class A Housing Maintenance Code violation from April 2024 regarding the annual bedbug reporting requirement, which remains unresolved despite similar violations being documented and subsequently closed in 2021, 2022, and 2023. The property's bedbug reporting history shows no infested units during the 2021-2022 filing period, with no reports of eradicated or re-infested units, suggesting effective control measures when infestations do occur.

The building's inspection record indicates a generally well-maintained property with regular compliance checks, though the recurring nature of the bedbug reporting violations points to an ongoing administrative oversight issue rather than a persistent pest problem. The property's successful rodent control record, with consistent passing results across eight consecutive years of inspections, suggests proactive management of structural maintenance and pest control systems. While the bedbug reporting compliance issue warrants attention, the absence of confirmed infestations during the documented periods indicates that the building's management has been generally responsive to pest control issues when they arise.
