1663 Palmetto Street, Queens, NY 11385

The 6-unit, 3-story New Law tenement building at 1663 Palmetto Street in Ridgewood is owned by Salcharles Annibale and was constructed in 1930. Recent inspections have revealed ongoing concerns about rodent activity, with a May 2025 inspection showing rat activity and a health department visit in the same month resulting in violations requiring follow-up inspections.

The building experienced a series of access-related maintenance issues in 2021, including reports of heat/hot water problems, unsanitary conditions, and plumbing concerns affecting both sinks and bathtubs/showers, though HPD was unable to gain access for inspection. These issues were categorized as both emergency and non-emergency complaints. The property has maintained a relatively clean record regarding bedbugs, with no documented infestations or eradications reported in the annual filings from 2019 through 2024, though violations were issued in 2021 and 2022 for failure to file annual bedbug reports.

While the building has generally passed rodent inspections in previous years (2018-2024), the most recent rodent-related incidents in 2025 suggest a developing concern. A violation was issued in June 2023 for failure to file the 2019 external low-pressure inspection, which remains active. The building's maintenance history shows attention to various issues, with a cabinet-related complaint noted in 2021, though most recent inspection results have shown compliance in multiple areas.
