16-57 Hancock Street, Queens, NY 11385

The three-story, three-unit tenement at 16-57 Hancock Street in Ridgewood, built in 1910 and currently owned by Franklin Leger, has shown a consistent pattern of maintaining pest control standards over the past several years. Most recently, in April 2024, the building received a class A Housing Maintenance Code violation for not filing the annual bedbug report on time, though this violation was subsequently closed when the filing was completed on May 2, 2024.

The building's bedbug reports for the filing periods from 2019 through 2023 show no instances of infestation, with all reports indicating zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units. The property has experienced some rodent-related challenges, as evidenced by recent inspection results. A September 2024 initial inspection noted rat activity, though this was followed by a compliance inspection in November 2024 that passed.

Prior to this, the building maintained a strong record, with passed inspections in 2023, 2022, and 2021, with only two notable exceptions: a February 2019 initial inspection showing rat activity, and a September 2019 initial inspection showing rat activity. These two incidents, while concerning, appear to be isolated in the context of the building's overall inspection history. The relatively high frequency of inspections and consistent reporting requirements suggests active management and oversight of pest control measures, though the recent bedbug reporting violation indicates some administrative oversights in record-keeping procedures.
