2031 Gates Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

2031 Gates Avenue is a 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building in Ridgewood, owned by Ioan Sita and constructed in 1908. The property has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, most notably a heating and hot water outage affecting the entire building in November 2022, and a pest-related complaint in November 2023, both of which were addressed through HPD intervention.

The building has accumulated multiple active violations from the Department of Buildings related to external low-pressure inspection filing requirements, with six consecutive years (2018-2023) showing non-compliance as of June 2023. Additionally, there are two significant historical complaints regarding access issues during inspections - one in 2019 concerning Certificate of Occupancy and another in 2024 regarding construction compliance, both marked as "Access Denied." The building's maintenance history shows some positive trends, particularly in pest management, as evidenced by five consecutive years of Bedbug Reporting (2020-2024) showing zero reported infestations or re-infestations.

The property previously passed a rodent inspection in 2017, indicating acceptable vermin control conditions at that time. Despite these concerning violations and service requests, it's worth noting that most of the issues have been resolved upon inspection or response, suggesting at least some level of responsiveness to tenant complaints, though there are multiple active violations that remain open as of the latest data.
