675 Seneca Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

The 3-story, 4-unit residential building at 675 Seneca Avenue in Ridgewood, owned by Gloria Avendano, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over the past few years. Most notably, there was a heat and hot water emergency in November 2023, though the problem was reportedly resolved shortly after the HPD intervention.

The building has undergone recent rodent control challenges, with inspections in August 2023 and September 2023 showing rat activity, though a subsequent inspection in September 2024 passed. The property has maintained a clean bedbug record since February 2021, with no infestations reported in the last four filing periods (2021-2025). The building's compliance history shows regular oversight under Local Law 188/17, with the most recent inspection in May 2024 resulting in an "Inspector Unable To Gain Access" disposition.

A bedbug reporting violation was issued in March 2023, and there have been multiple inspections related to various complaints in 2022, including inquiries into electrical wiring, construction work, and permit compliance, though none resulted in violations. The building has had consistent inspection pass rates for rat activity from 2013 through 2024, with only two instances of rat activity recorded during general inspections in 2013 and 2023. While the building's recent history shows improved management of pest control and heat issues, the April 2022 complaints about electrical wiring and construction work without permits suggest there have been periods requiring heightened attention to building maintenance and safety.
