1829 Madison Street, Queens, NY 11385

Tallied in the past five years, 1829 Madison Street in Ridgewood, a 3-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement built in 1913, has experienced persistent maintenance challenges, particularly involving water-related issues. Most recently, in late 2024, there were multiple water-related complaints, including mold and appliance problems, though HPD inspections were notably unable to be completed.

These followed a pattern of water issues over the previous two years, including reports of heavy flow and slow leaks in 2023 and 2024. The building has also contended with recurring pest management issues, as evidenced by several bedbug reports between 2020 and 2025, with the most recent filing in June 2025 indicating one infested unit. Recent inspections and violations show attention to building safety standards, with major concerns addressed between 2022-2023 regarding self-closing doors and mold conditions in Apartment 1L.

The building's management filed timely bedbug reports for each applicable period, documenting inspections and eradication efforts. While the property has maintained its rodent-free status in recent inspections, passing in 2024, there remains an active DOB violation as of June 2023 related to failure to file an external low-pressure inspection. Despite these ongoing maintenance challenges, many historical complaints from previous years show "no violations" being issued upon inspection, suggesting some issues are being properly addressed when investigated, though the recent trend of incomplete inspections raises concern about access or responsiveness to maintenance concerns.
