1855 Madison Street, Queens, NY 11385
The three-story New Law Tenement building at 1855 Madison Street in Ridgewood, owned by Paul Wong and containing 6 units, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in September 2024, the building was cited for both pest infestations and broken window guards, with violations issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). Additionally, there are three open violations from late 2024 regarding lead paint compliance, including failure to maintain required records and failure to properly notify occupants about lead paint hazards in apartment 2L.
The building has a documented history of rodent-related problems, with multiple incidents reported between 2010 and 2024, though the most recent inspections in September 2024 and March 2023 passed without violations. The property has also faced various safety concerns, with violations issued in late 2024 regarding self-closing doors and a defective entrance latch, along with a violation requiring the posting of gas leak procedures. Bedbug infestations have been documented, with the most recent report from December 2024 indicating one re-infested unit among three initially infested units.
The building's mechanical systems have had their share of issues, including a March 2022 violation regarding boiler safety and maintenance requirements, though this violation was subsequently resolved. Historical data shows some pattern of non-compliance with boiler inspection requirements, as evidenced by violations issued in 2019 and 2023 for failure to file inspection reports, both of which were dismissed. While the building has achieved compliance in many areas with subsequent inspections, the recurring nature of some violations, particularly regarding safety systems and pest control, suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has been built since 1913 and is classified as a New Law Tenement, which typically means it is subject to specific rent stabilization and maintenance requirements under New York City law.
