1896 Madison Street, Queens, NY 11385

1896 Madison Street is a 3-story, 2-unit residential building constructed in 1911, currently owned by Nancy Naletilic and classified as a New Law Tenement. The building has a mixed record of compliance with housing regulations over recent years, though recent communications have shown improvement.

Notably, there was a recent active Department of Buildings violation from April 2023 regarding the failure to file the 2022 external low-pressure inspection, representing a potential safety concern. However, this was the first such violation recorded in the available history for this building. The property has experienced recurring Housing Maintenance Code violations between 2021 and 2023, all related to the annual bedbug report filing requirement, though these violations were subsequently closed.

Despite these violations, the building's official bedbug reporting records from late 2023 show no reported infestations, with consistent records indicating zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units for the reporting periods spanning 2021-2022 through 2023-2024. The building has maintained a clean record in terms of pest control and safety, passing all rodent inspections conducted in 2016, 2017, and most recently in September 2024, suggesting effective ongoing maintenance of common areas. While the external low-pressure inspection violation and the pattern of bedbug report filing violations are noteworthy, the absence of actual pest infestations and the recent passing of rodent inspections indicate generally responsible management of the property's maintenance requirements.
