808 Seneca Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

808 Seneca Avenue is a 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building located in Ridgewood, built in 1930 and currently owned by Viorel Fera. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant cluster of problems emerging in May 2024, when multiple violations were recorded across various categories including electrical systems (outlets, wiring, lighting, and a power outage), water leaks, pest problems, ceiling maintenance, and radiator issues.

More recently, as of August 2024, there are several open violations including lead paint hazards in Apartment 2R affecting multiple walls, a mold condition in the bathroom, and various safety concerns in Apartment 3R related to self-closing doors and window guards. An inspection in September 2024 resulted in a passing rodent inspection, maintaining the building's typically pest-free status as evidenced by consistent passing inspections since 2013, and there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the most recent filing period. The building's violation history shows a pattern of maintenance challenges primarily affecting Apartments 2R and 3R, with issues ranging from basic maintenance (paint/plaster work) to more serious concerns like water leaks and potential lead paint hazards.

The property has undergone various inspections and received multiple violation notices, some of which remain open as of August 2024. The presence of multiple violation categories being addressed simultaneously suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, though the relatively quick closure of many previous complaints indicates some responsiveness to tenant concerns. The building's age and designation as a New Law Tenement are consistent with its current condition, as these buildings typically require more maintenance attention compared to newer or renovated properties.
