676 Onderdonk Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

The three-unit, three-story building at 676 Onderdonk Avenue in Ridgewood, owned by Chung Lau and classified as a "New Law Tenement," has experienced several notable events since its construction in 1930. Most recently, in late 2024 and through 2025, the building has shown persistent rodent activity, with inspections in September and November 2024 documenting these issues.

The building has maintained a consistent record of no bedbug infestations or related issues in recent years, with the most recent bedbug reports from 2023 and 2024 indicating zero infested or eradicated units. Previous bedbug reporting violations in 2021 and 2023 were ultimately resolved. The property faced significant building and occupancy challenges in 2021, including a complaint about illegal conversion (specifically a converted garage space) which resulted in an Oath violation being served.

An Environmental Control Board violation was also recorded in May 2021 for occupancy contrary to permitted use, though this violation was resolved with no penalties imposed. The building has shown varying results in rat inspections over the years, passing inspections in 2016, 2013, and 2014, but failing an initial inspection in 2014 and experiencing rat activity as recently as 2024. While the building has had some compliance issues related to bedbug reporting and rodent activity, it has maintained consistent three-unit occupancy and has not recorded any major safety incidents or hazards in recent years, with most violations being administrative or related to pest control rather than structural or safety concerns.
