16-11 Jefferson Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

The three-story, six-unit residential building at 16-11 Jefferson Avenue in Ridgewood, owned by Ben Pang, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over the past few years. Most recently, in early 2025, the building had a reported slow water leak that led to an HPD inspection attempt in February, though the inspector was unable to gain access, resulting in a closed complaint status.

The building's bedbug reporting history shows consistent compliance from 2021 through 2024, with zero infested units reported in the last three filings. However, there was an annual bedbug reporting violation noted in 2021, 2022, and 2023 - suggesting remedial action was needed to meet reporting requirements, though subsequent filings indicate compliance. Rodent inspections have shown a concerning pattern, with the most recent inspections in 2024 (September and November) indicating rat activity, following a period of passed inspections from 2017 to 2023.

A garbage/recycling storage issue was reported and investigated in 2021, though no violations were found. The building's maintenance history suggests some ongoing challenges, particularly with water leaks and rodent activity, though the complete absence of bedbug infestations in recent reports indicates effective pest management. The property, built in 1931, falls under the Old Law Tenement classification and has been subject to regular HPD inspections and compliance requirements.
