1866 Gates Avenue, Queens, NY 11385
1866 Gates Avenue is a two-story residential building located in Ridgewood, Queens, containing four units and built in 1930. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly with heating and electrical systems. Between 2019-2021, there were multiple documented incidents of power outages and heating/hot water problems, with at least three separate heat/hot water complaints in October 2019 alone, resulting in violated housing maintenance codes.
The building has also faced challenges with building systems maintenance, as evidenced by violations related to inadequate gas supply to kitchen fixtures, heating system access, and hot water availability. A significant cluster of violations was recorded in 2018 concerning illegal occupancy issues, with fines imposed for various code violations including lack of required means of egress, inadequate fire alarm systems, and unauthorized modifications to create additional dwelling units in the cellar. More recent records show some improvements, with the building passing rodent inspections in 2023-2024, though there were reports of rat activity in September 2024.
The property has maintained a clean bedbug record since 2021, with no reported infestations in the past three years. Current open violations related to heating system access and building systems maintenance from 2019 have not been re-inspected as of the latest records. Additionally, the building underwent permitting activity in late 2018, suggesting some authorized work was completed, though specific details of the improvements are not documented in the available data. The most recent rodent inspection in November 2024 showed compliance, indicating improved pest management, while the regular bedbug reports from 2021-2024 show no infestation cases.
