The three-story, four-unit tenement building at 71-32 Fresh Pond Road in Ridgewood, owned by Mei Kan Cheng and constructed in 1915, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been two recent heating system failures affecting the entire building (January 2025 and November 2024), though heat and hot water were reportedly restored in both cases. The summer of 2024 saw multiple housing maintenance code violations, with open violations in Apartment 3R including reports of rodent and pest infestations, electrical wiring problems, and issues with doors and bathroom facilities. Other inspection findings from August 2024 resulted in violations related to building maintenance issues such as ceiling leaks, floor tile damage, and wall conditions in common areas, though many of these have since been addressed and closed.
The building's history shows ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly with pest control, as evidenced by multiple rodent bait applications recorded in 2022-2023 and several pest-related complaints in 2024. Despite these issues, the property has maintained an active bedbug prevention record, with no reported infestations in the last four reporting periods from 2020 through 2024. Complaints regarding heating systems, electrical wiring, and various building conditions have been persistent, with recent emergency complaints indicating that some issues continue to affect resident comfort and safety. The building's inspection history shows multiple instances where inspectors were unable to gain access during investigations, particularly in 2019-2020, which may have delayed resolution of certain concerns. While some violations from 2024 have been certified as closed, including those related to public area maintenance, several significant issues remain outstanding as of the most recent inspection reports.
