1677 Madison Street, Queens, NY 11385

The 6-unit, 3-story building at 1677 Madison Street in Ridgewood, owned by Chu Chin, was constructed in 1930 as a New Law tenement. The building's recent history shows some concerns with basic services, particularly heating and hot water, as evidenced by a tenant complaint in February 2022 that required HPD intervention, though the issue was reportedly resolved promptly. In 2019, there were multiple emergency complaints including a broken window guard and mold issues, and an inspection in October 2019 revealed several important safety notice violations, including missing postings regarding carbon monoxide detector requirements, smoke detector requirements, and gas leak procedures.

The building has shown consistent attention to pest control, with all bedbug reports from 2020 through 2024 indicating zero infested units. Additionally, comprehensive rodent inspections have generally resulted in passing grades, with the most recent inspections in 2022, 2023, and 2024 showing compliance, though there was one failure recorded in December 2019. The property has maintained a relatively stable record since 2020, with no further heating issues reported and consistent bedbug and rodent control compliance.

All previously identified violations from the 2019 inspections appear to have been addressed, as indicated by their subsequent certification dates in late 2019 and early 2020. The building's management has demonstrated compliance with regular rodent inspections, passing each one since the 2019 failure, which suggests proactive maintenance of common areas and building systems. Notably, the property has not experienced any documented bedbug infestations in the past five years, indicating effective pest management practices.
