2005 Palmetto Street, Queens, NY 11385

The three-story, six-unit New Law Tenement building at 2005 Palmetto Street in Ridgewood, owned by Marek Grabowski and constructed in 1910, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past decade. Most notably, the building has a history of mandatory bedbug reporting violations, with unfiled annual reports documented as violations in 2021 and 2022, though subsequent filings show no infestation cases from 2019 through 2025, suggesting this issue was eventually rectified.

In late 2018, there was a non-emergency complaint about pest-related unsanitary conditions, which was investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development with no violations found. The building has multiple open violations from December 2018 related to safety and notification requirements in the first-story public hall, including missing postings for smoke detector requirements, carbon monoxide detection device requirements, gas leak procedures, and the building's registration number.

These violations also include the need to maintain a proper notice about the agency's housing information guide and provide a completed certificate of inspection visits in an approved frame. A rodent inspection conducted in June 2017 resulted in a passing grade. While the building's recent bedbug reports from 2021 through 2025 show no infestations or eradication efforts, indicating improved pest management, the unresolved safety notification violations from 2018 remain a significant concern for resident safety and compliance.
