1712 Palmetto Street, Queens, NY 11385
The three-story, six-unit New Law Tenement building at 1712 Palmetto Street in Ridgewood, built in 1930 and currently owned by Moshe Deutsch, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past two years. Most notably, there have been multiple heating and plumbing problems, including a building-wide heat/hot water issue in December 2024, a plumbing violation involving a sink in Apartment 1L in October 2024, and persistent window and wall maintenance issues identified in multiple inspections.
The building has also faced repeated electrical challenges, with two power outages reported in July and August 2024, and various infrastructure concerns including window frame problems, water leaks, and pest infestations (with a significant cockroach infestation violation in May 2024). Recent inspections and violations indicate ongoing maintenance challenges, with several open violations relating to water systems and interior conditions. The building's heating system has been under scrutiny, with boiler-related complaints in 2023 and 2024, and an Environmental Control Board violation recorded in November 2023 concerning the water gauge glass assembly.
While there have been no reported bedbug infestations in recent years, rodent inspections show a complex history of rat activity, with the most recent inspection in September 2024 passing, though previous inspections in 2021 indicated rat activity. The property has also been subject to various Housing Maintenance Code violations, particularly in 2024, covering issues from plaster repairs to window functionality. The building's oldest recorded violations date back to 2018, including an unauthorized construction complaint regarding plumbing work in Apartments 2R and 3R.
