1915 Palmetto Street, Queens, NY 11385

This two-story, four-unit building at 1915 Palmetto Street in Ridgewood, owned by Harry Fisher, has experienced several significant maintenance issues since 2022. The property, dating back to 1930 and classified as an Old Law Tenement, has faced recurring problems with its heating and hot water systems, with multiple emergency complaints in early 2022 regarding both building-wide and apartment-specific failures. In 2022, the building underwent several electrical incidents, including power outages and outlet issues, though inspections did not result in violations.

More recently, in 2024 and 2025, the property has grappled with plumbing concerns, including sewer issues that generated both HPD and DOHMH complaints, though inspections of these matters found no violations. The building has also had persistent rodent activity, with multiple baiting interventions taking place between 2023 and 2024, following inspection findings of rat activity in early 2024. The building's violation history shows both current and resolved issues, with one open Class C violation from 2022 regarding self-closing doors in apartment 2R.

The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing no infestations in its most recent filing for the period ending October 2024. A thorough examination of the building's history reveals a pattern of recurring issues primarily related to heating, plumbing, and pest control, with the most recent concerns primarily focusing on plumbing systems and rodent management. While many complaints have been closed with no violations issued, the frequency of similar issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
