59-16 67th Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

The two-story, four-unit New Law Tenement building at 59-16 67th Avenue in Ridgewood, owned by Emil Perez, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over recent years. From 2019 to 2021, there were multiple complaints regarding unsanitary conditions, with several related to garbage/recycling storage that went unresolved due to inspection access issues, along with recurring pest problems including roaches and rodents.

The building experienced significant code violations in 2021, including issues with scalding hot water (exceeding 130 degrees) and various safety compliance matters that remain open, such as the need for proper carbon monoxide detector notices, gas leak procedure notifications, and smoke detector requirements. Notably, there were also violations concerning self-closing doors in Apartment 2R and multiple building safety requirements that have not yet been resolved. The property has undergone some improvements over time, with a rodent inspection in October 2019 passing successfully, though an initial failure was recorded in August 2019.

More recently, the building appears to have maintained a bedbug-free status since at least 2021, with no infested units reported in the past four consecutive Bedbug Reporting periods through 2024. While there was a heat/hot water complaint in December 2019 that did not result in violations, the building's historical maintenance record suggests ongoing attention to basic habitability issues is required. The most recent housing maintenance code complaints and violations indicate several unresolved safety and maintenance concerns that would benefit from follow-up, particularly regarding building-wide systems and safety compliance measures.
