1858 Cornelia Street, Queens, NY 11385

The 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building at 1858 Cornelia Street in Ridgewood, owned by Gabriel Plaskon, has experienced several building maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant being a heat/hot water outage affecting the entire building in January 2025. In April 2024, the building faced multiple maintenance challenges, including problems with doors/windows, flooring, appliances (electric/gas range and refrigerator), plumbing (toilet issues), and both mold and pest infestations, resulting in several Housing Maintenance Code violations.

A December 2024 inspection revealed issues with self-closing doors in Apartment 2R, while earlier that year, a defective boiler chimney component was identified and corrected. The building's maintenance record shows some improvements in recent months, particularly regarding pest management and rodent control, with the most recent rodent inspection in September 2024 resulting in a passing grade.

Importantly, there have been no bedbug infestations reported in the past five years, with the most recent filings (2022-2025) showing zero infested or re-infested units. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues, many have been addressed through inspections and corrections, as evidenced by the "CLOSED" status on most recent service requests. The building's age (built in 1911) and the nature of its maintenance history suggest ongoing upkeep will continue to be necessary, but recent improvements in preservation efforts are notable.
