1815 Palmetto Street, Queens, NY 11385

1815 Palmetto Street is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building located in Ridgewood, built in 1930 and currently owned by Jacob Zimmer. The property has experienced multiple pest-related issues over recent years, most notably a significant rodent infestation in early 2022 that resulted in violations requiring remediation in both common areas and specific units (including apartment 3L).

The building's rodent control history shows a pattern of required intervention, with initial inspections in 2022 confirming rat activity, though more recent inspections as of September 2024 show compliance and a "Passed" result. In 2022, there were also documented concerns about broken window guards (an emergency safety issue) and temporary heating problems in March of that year, though these were resolved without violations being issued.

The building's maintenance history reveals several other compliance matters, including lead paint hazard concerns in apartments 1R and 3R (requiring documentation and inspections), and issues related to building cleanliness and refuse management in the front area. Notably, the property has maintained consistent bedbug reporting compliance from 2021 through 2024, with no infestations reported in any of the five consecutive annual filings. The most recent rodent inspection's successful outcome in September 2024, combined with the absence of recent pest complaints or violations, suggests improved conditions, though the building's history of recurring pest issues indicates this should be monitored.
