659 Onderdonk Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

The two-story, four-unit New Law Tenement building at 659 Onderdonk Avenue in Ridgewood, owned by Allie Dweck and constructed in 1930, has experienced several maintenance issues since 2019. The property faced multiple water-related complaints in 2019, with multiple reports of damp spots and slow leaks that the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to inspect.

Other maintenance issues in 2019 included plumbing problems with toilets, and concerns about paint/plaster conditions on ceilings, walls, and floors. A rat sighting was reported in January 2020, though health inspectors were unable to access the property. The building has undergone regular rodent inspections, most recently passing in September 2024, and previous inspections in 2020, 2017, and 2016 all resulted in passing grades.

The property has maintained an active bedbug reporting record from 2020 through 2024, with all reports showing zero infested or eradicated units, indicating effective pest management. Several housing maintenance code violations were recorded in 2018 related to safety notifications that have since been addressed, including requirements for smoke detector requirements, carbon monoxide detector requirements, gas leak procedures, and the posting of housing information guide notifications. Notably, no current violations or active maintenance issues are on record as of October 2023, and the bedbug reporting has shown consistent maintenance of zero infestations over the past five years.
