2033 Palmetto Street, Queens, NY 11385

The 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building at 2033 Palmetto Street in Ridgewood was built in 1910 and is currently owned by Maria Draguc. The property has experienced several maintenance issues, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in December 2019, when multiple housing complaints were filed and subsequently addressed, including issues with heat/hot water, plumbing in toilets and bathtubs/showers, wall conditions, window frames, and radiator paint.

Between 2020-2023, the building faced several Housing Maintenance Code violations, including a series of bedbug reporting requirements between 2021 and 2023 that were noted as violations but later appeared to be resolved with the most recent filings showing no infested units or eradications required. Notable improvements were made in January 2020 to address multiple issues in apartment 3L, including repairs to door closures, window balances, bathroom fixtures, and various surfaces.

More recent concerns include a active Department of Buildings violation from June 2023 regarding failure to file the 2021 External Low Pressure Inspection report. However, the building has maintained a consistent record of no bedbug infestations or requirements for eradication since 2024, and passed rodent inspections as of June 2017, suggesting improved pest management in recent years. While the building's history shows periods of significant maintenance issues and violations, many of these have been addressed, with the most recent events indicating the property is currently meeting many basic maintenance requirements, though the active DOB violation from 2023 remains open as of the most recent data.
