15-13 Cooper Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

The 2-story, 4-unit residential building at 15-13 Cooper Avenue in Ridgewood, owned by Ray Doorga, has a documented history of maintenance issues and violations, with the most recent concerns emerging in July 2023. Multiple emergency violations were recorded on July 17-18, 2023, including problems with electrical outlets, window panes, mold, and a significant water leak, while more serious ongoing violations as of 2024 relate to bedbug reporting requirements.

A comprehensive inspection on July 18, 2023, revealed several issues specific to apartment 2R, including an active pest infestation (roaches and mice), water leak problems affecting multiple rooms, electrical system deficiencies, and areas requiring paint remediation due to peeling surfaces. The building's history shows recurring maintenance challenges spanning several years, including a brief heat/hot water outage in January 2019, door/window issues, and concerns about garbage/recycling storage in 2022.

A notable cluster of rat activity was documented between 2018-2020, though a passing rodent inspection result was recorded in August 2023. The property has open violations from 2023 related to water leaks in the roof affecting the kitchen, electrical service to fixtures, window repair needs, and multiple pest control requirements. While some issues have been resolved, such as the 2023 Department of Health and Mental Hygiene inspection finding no violations related to an unsanitary animal complaint, the building continues to require attention to various maintenance and compliance matters as of the most recent available data.
