1671 Madison Street, Queens, NY 11385

1671 Madison Street is a 3-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement building in Ridgewood, built in 1930 and currently owned by Hajredin Alovic. The building has experienced several safety and maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most significant cluster of violations occurring in late 2020 and early 2021.

These included multiple violations related to lead-based paint compliance, window guard safety, and facility maintenance, particularly affecting apartments 1L and 2L. Notable issues in apartment 2L included missing safety detectors (smoke and carbon monoxide), a broken steam valve, and a roach infestation, though most of these violations were addressed and closed between late 2020 and early 2021. A window guard safety issue was reported through 311 in November 2020 and subsequently inspected by HPD.

The building's recent history shows consistent compliance with bedbug and rodent inspections, with no reported infestations in the past five years according to the annual bedbug reporting requirements, and all recent rodent inspections (2021-2024) have passed, with the last inspection in September 2024 showing compliance. The most pressing historical concerns – including lead paint compliance lapses and various safety equipment deficiencies – appear to have been largely resolved, as evidenced by the closure of most violations and the regular passing of safety inspections. The building's maintenance record shows improved responsiveness to safety and maintenance issues since the 2020-2021 violation period, though some open violations from that period remain on record related to lead paint documentation requirements.
