658 Seneca Avenue, Queens, NY 11385
The 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement at 658 Seneca Avenue in Ridgewood, owned by Victor Vinansaca, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past several years, with multiple emergency complaints filed through HPD between 2022 and 2024, affecting both the entire building and individual apartments. Notably, recent heating system problems were reported in January 2024, and similar issues were documented in January 2023 and December 2022, though inspections were either unable to gain access or confirmed restoration of services.
The building has also undergone three Housing Maintenance Code complaints in 2020 related to general conditions, pest issues, and appliance problems, all of which were closed without inspections. In terms of building compliance, there were three complaints regarding work without a permit in May 2021, with one resulting in an Oath Violation, and a 2021 Environmental Control Board violation for an excessively high fence (64 inches instead of the permitted 48 inches), which was resolved with a $250 penalty.
While the building has maintained a clean record for bedbug infestations since 2019, with regular inspections showing no activity, there were indications of rat activity in 2013. The most recent inspections in 2024, 2017, 2016, and 2014 all passed. The property's heating system issues appear to be the most pressing ongoing concern, with multiple emergency complaints filed in 2022, 2023, and 2024 suggesting recurring problems with building-wide heating and hot water availability.
