1830 Madison Street, Queens, NY 11385

The 6-unit, 3-story residential building at 1830 Madison Street in Ridgewood, owned by Magdi Teima, has experienced recurring pest issues over the past several years, particularly with rodents and insects. Most recently, in November 2024, the property passed a Department of Health inspection for rodent activity, though prior inspections in 2023 and 2024 had documented rat activity. The building has maintained consistent compliance with bedbug reporting regulations from 2020 to present, showing no infested units during the past five reporting periods.

Significant maintenance concerns emerged between 2020-2022, including multiple violations and complaints regarding unsanitary conditions, pest infestations, and environmental issues. A cluster of complaints in December 2020 involved water leaks, mold, pest problems, and ceiling paint/plaster issues, resulting in several housing maintenance code violations. The building currently has three open violations from a May 2022 inspection, including defective self-closing doors in Apartment 3L and improper carbon monoxide and smoke detector functionality in Apartment 2L.

Additionally, there are two active Department of Buildings violations from 2023 for failure to file required low pressure inspections. The building's maintenance history also indicates previous plumbing issues (toilet and shower problems in 2018), though most recent inspections related to these concerns show no active violations. The property's inspection and violation history suggests an evolving pattern of maintenance issues, particularly between 2018 and 2022, with some recent improvements demonstrated by passed inspections, though challenges with pest control and safety systems persist.
