853 Onderdonk Avenue, Queens, NY 11385
853 Onderdonk Avenue is a 3-story, 4-unit New Law Tenement building located in Ridgewood, built in 1911 and currently owned by Kermit Westergaard. The building has experienced several health and safety-related incidents in recent years, with the most significant being multiple food safety complaints between 2023-2024, including two food poisoning incidents (August 2023 and November 2024) and a rodent/insect/garbage complaint (May 2024).
There is an active Department of Buildings violation from June 2023 for failure to file external low-pressure inspections for 2018-2020, though the building has consistently passed rodent inspections conducted in 2016, 2017, and most recently in September 2024. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all six required annual reports (2019-2024) indicating zero infested or previously infested units.
The building's maintenance history shows regular compliance with health department inspections, though the recent food safety incidents suggest some ongoing challenges with sanitation practices. While the active DOB violations regarding low-pressure inspection filing are notable, particularly since they span three years (2018-2020), it's worth noting that the building has received multiple permits for various improvements between 2018-2020, including plumbing and electrical work. The property's location in Ridgewood and its classification as a New Law Tenement provide context for its regulatory requirements and historical significance in the neighborhood.
