1824 Madison Street, Queens, NY 11385

The 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building at 1824 Madison Street in Ridgewood, built in 1913 and currently owned by Iso Capric, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years. The most recent concerns involve recurring problems with the intercom system, with two identical complaints filed in April 2024, though no violations were issued following HPD inspections.

In the earlier part of the 2020s, there were various maintenance issues including a water supply problem in December 2020, multiple complaints about interior surfaces (walls, ceilings, floors) in March 2020 that resulted in some violations, and a heat and hot water emergency in November 2019 that was reportedly resolved shortly after being reported. The building has outstanding safety concerns documented from 2020-2021 related to the smoke detector near sleeping areas, a key-operated lock on a secondary egress, and various maintenance issues in Apartment 3L including mold, damaged plaster, and floor tile problems, though most violations were eventually closed. The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing zero infested units in the last five reporting periods between 2019-2025, indicating effective pest management.

Recent inspections have generally shown good results, including a rodent inspection in September 2024 that passed, as well as consistent compliance with rodent inspections from 2013-2017. A violation regarding the failure to file the 2020 external low-pressure inspection was issued in June 2023 and remains active as of the latest data. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing complaints through HPD inspections, though some issues, particularly in Apartment 3L, have persisted over multiple years despite multiple complaint filings and inspections.
