AI summary · updated June 2026

The two-story, four-unit Old Law Tenement building at 16-22 Hancock Street in Ridgewood, owned by Yvonne Lopez, has demonstrated consistent compliance with rat control measures over the past decade, passing nine consecutive rodent inspections from 2012 through 2024. While the building is required to submit annual bedbug reports to comply with Housing Maintenance Code requirements, there have been four documented violations between 2021 and 2024 for failure to file these reports, though recent filings indicate no infestation issues. The most recent report (June 2024) for the period November 2022 to October 2023 and the previous report (July 2023) for the period November 2021 to October 2022 both confirmed zero infested dwelling units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units, suggesting effective management of the bedbug reporting requirement once the previous violations were addressed.
