2006 Palmetto Street, Queens, NY 11385

2006 Palmetto Street is a 3-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement building located in Ridgewood, built in 1910 and currently owned by Meri Zubovic. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly related to building safety and maintenance systems. As of May 2025, there is an open complaint regarding a power outage, and in August 2024, there was an emergency complaint about mold, though no violations were issued following inspection.

A comprehensive inspection on September 10, 2024, revealed multiple violations, including defective self-closing doors and latch assemblies at public hall vestibules, though some of these were subsequently closed by certified repairs in late 2024. The building has maintained a clean bedbug record over the past five years, with zero reported infestations or eradications. However, it did have a significant incident in 2019 regarding an unfiled annual boiler inspection, which resulted in a $1,000 penalty. The property underwent rodent inspections in 2017 and 2019, passing the latter, with the 2017 inspection failing for unspecified reasons.

The building's violation history indicates a pattern of maintenance issues affecting common areas and safety systems, though many of these have been addressed through proper certification. Recent months have seen particular attention to door security and self-closing mechanisms, with several related violations being documented and addressed through certified repairs. The recent power outage and previous mold complaint suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, though the absence of violations from the mold investigation is notable. The building's proactive response to bedbug management, consistently reporting zero infestations, stands in contrast to the various other maintenance issues documented in recent years.
