816 Seneca Avenue, Queens, NY 11385
The five-unit, three-story tenement building at 816 Seneca Avenue in Ridgewood, currently owned by Marek Grab, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with a particularly notable pattern of rodent activity. Most concerning, the property has had recent rat activity as confirmed by inspections in September and November 2024, following similar issues in 2019 and a notable cluster of complaints in 2021.
The building has also faced multiple emergency complaints regarding basic services, including heat and hot water in November 2021 (for which inspectors could not gain access), and unsanitary conditions related to pests in August 2022, along with several appliance-related issues. Multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations were documented, including open violations from October 2021 regarding security features like an unauthorized double-cylinder lock on the building entrance door, and issues with smoke detector requirements.
The building's inspection history shows some inconsistent record-keeping, with violations noted for missing inspection certificates and other safety-related documentation. However, more recent bedbug reports (2022-2024) show no infestations, indicating successful management of that particular issue. The most recent Department of Buildings violations from June 2023 related to external low-pressure inspection filings were dismissed as of August 2023.
