660 Onderdonk Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

The two-story, four-unit tenement building at 660 Onderdonk Avenue in Ridgewood, owned by Luis Ponce and constructed in 1930, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over recent years. Most notably, there was a building-wide heat and hot water outage in late 2018, though these services were reportedly restored shortly thereafter. The building has consistently faced violations related to annual bedbug reporting requirements between 2021 and 2024, with the most recent inspection in April 2024 showing a violation for failing to submit the necessary reports.

While bedbug infestations had been documented in previous years, including a significant outbreak in 2020-2021 affecting four units, recent filings from 2022-2025 indicate no current infestations. The property has a documented history of unauthorized construction activity in spring 2021, with multiple complaints about work being performed without proper permits, particularly involving electrical work. This period also saw concerns about defective electrical wiring, though inspections generally found no violations warranting penalties.

The Department of Buildings issued at least two Environmental Control Board violations during this time, resulting in fines totaling $1,025 that were subsequently resolved. Recent inspections in 2024 have shown mixed results for pest control, with a rat activity inspection in September 2024 being particularly notable. However, the building passed a recent rodent inspection in November 2024. The property's maintenance history shows a pattern of regulatory noncompliance in areas such as heat maintenance, pest control, and unauthorized construction work, though recent years have shown some improvement in infestation management.
