1512 Decatur Street, Queens, NY 11385

The two-story, four-unit New Law Tenement building at 1512 Decatur Street in Ridgewood, owned by Melissa Rojas and constructed in 1931, has experienced persistent pest management challenges over recent years. The property has a documented history of rodent-related issues, with multiple inspections between 2019 and 2023 showing regular rat activity, though recent evidence suggests improved conditions.

Bait was applied during April 2023 inspections, and records show no rat activity during the most recent 2024 inspection, which focused on bedbug reporting compliance. The building has shown consistent attention to bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent 2025 report showing zero infested or previously infested units, marking an improvement from earlier years when violations were recorded in 2021-2024 for failure to file annual bedbug reports.

The property's maintenance history reveals recurring pest-related complaints, particularly in mid-2019, when multiple unsanitary condition complaints were filed regarding pests, though inspectors were often unable to gain access to verify these conditions. While rodent inspections have been regular, with bait applications documented in 2020-2023, the frequency of rat activity reports has decreased. The building's recent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements and the absence of active rodent complaints in 2024 suggest some progress in pest management, though the historical pattern of violations and service requests indicates this has been an ongoing maintenance challenge for the property.
