754 Onderdonk Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

The 3-story, 7-unit New Law Tenement building at 754 Onderdonk Avenue in Ridgewood, owned by Thomas Carolan, has experienced recurring maintenance issues throughout 2024-2025, with a particular concentration of problems related to garbage storage and heating systems. Most recently, there are open complaints (since May 2025) regarding unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage. In April 2025, there was a notable cluster of heating system issues, with multiple complaints about heat and hot water problems, some of which affected the entire building. These heating incidents followed a pattern established in March 2025, when several heat-related complaints were filed.

The building has also faced various other maintenance challenges, including electrical issues (April 2025) and a series of heating system-related complaints throughout 2024-2025, with emergency status given to some of these problems. An inspection in late 2024 revealed multiple violations requiring attention, including issues with self-closing doors, fire retardant materials, and an infestation of roaches in Apartment 2R, though these violations were subsequently certified as corrected by early 2025. Previous years show a relatively consistent pattern of boiler-related complaints, with inspections from 2022-2025, though most were found to have no violations warranting further action. The building has maintained good rodent inspection results, passing multiple initial and compliance inspections between 2016 and 2024, with one failed inspection in September 2024.

The property has a history of boiler complaints, with inspections in 2022-2025 showing varying results, though most were ultimately determined to have no violations requiring further action. The building underwent maintenance work in late 2024, including the resolution of several housing maintenance code violations, though some issues remained open. Notably, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years, according to official records from 2021-2025. The building's overall maintenance history shows a mix of resolved and ongoing issues, with particular attention needed to address recurring problems with waste management and heating systems.
