16-09 Jefferson Avenue, Queens, NY 11385
The three-story, three-unit Old Law Tenement building at 16-09 Jefferson Avenue in Ridgewood, owned by Eyal Katzman, has experienced several noteworthy events since 2018. Most significantly, there are recurring Housing Maintenance Code violations regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports for the past four years (2021-2024), which remain open as of 2024.
In 2018, two serious violations were recorded and resolved, including improper maintenance of adjoining/party walls that compromised fireproofing (with a $1,600 penalty) and construction work performed without proper permits that involved substantial interior demolition (also $1,600 penalty). The building has maintained a clean record regarding rodent inspections, passing all nine inspections conducted between 2016 and 2024, though there was one incident of rat activity reported in 2013.
Two complaints were made to the Department of Buildings in 2019-2020, one regarding work contrary to a stop work order and the other tracking compliance, neither resulting in violations. Multiple permits were issued in early 2019 for various construction-related work, suggesting significant renovation activity during that period.
