1821 Cornelia Street, Queens, NY 11385
1821 Cornelia Street is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building located in Ridgewood, built in 1911 and currently owned by John Catalic. The property has experienced several recurring issues over recent years, with the most significant being ongoing concerns about heat and hot water availability, particularly during winter months from late 2022 through 2023. Multiple complaints about heat and hot water systems were filed, with at least five emergencies reported between December 2022 and April 2023, though some reports indicated restoration of service had occurred.
Additionally, there have been persistent rodent activity issues, with six reported rat sightings in 2023 alone, and recent inspections in 2025 confirming continued rodent problems. The building's maintenance record shows some concerning safety issues, particularly in apartment 2R, which has open violations related to a defective bathroom ceiling, missing smoke detectors, and missing carbon monoxide detectors as of 2023. Historical records from 2019 indicate lead paint hazards affecting multiple windows in this apartment, though some violations from 2020 regarding various apartment conditions were marked as closed.
More recently, in October 2023, violations were documented regarding an unpermitted boiler installation and missing rating plate, with a $1,250 penalty proposed for the unauthorized boiler installation. The building has maintained a clean bedbug record over the past five years, with no reported infestations or eradications from 2020 through 2024. While the property has regular inspections for rat activity, the most recent July 2025 inspection indicated ongoing rodent challenges, though prior inspections in 2024 showed improvement with a "Passed" result.
