1652 Cornelia Street, Queens, NY 11385

The two-family house at 1652 Cornelia Street in Ridgewood, owned by Benjamin Goldstein, has experienced several notable events in recent years, particularly regarding pest management. Most recently, in February 2025, there was a rat sighting reported to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, which resulted in identified violations requiring follow-up inspections.

This incident marks a significant concern given the building's ongoing rodent management history. The property has undergone multiple rodent inspections since 2019, with the most recent two inspections in 2025 showing a "failed for other reasons" result in February, followed by a "passed" inspection in March 2025. The building has achieved passing results in the majority of these inspections, though it failed initial inspections in November 2022 and February 2025, indicating potential persistent challenges with rodent control.

The building's bedbug reporting history from 2021 to 2024 shows an encouraging pattern, with all five reports (including the most recent in December 2024) indicating zero infested dwelling units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units. This suggests effective management of the bedbug situation, with no confirmed infestations during the reporting periods. The 2-family house, built in 1950 and consisting of two stories, has maintained regular compliance with bedbug reporting requirements while facing intermittent challenges with rodent control, as evidenced by the recent inspection results and service request notifications.
