1649 George Street, Queens, NY 11385
The two-story New Law Tenement building at 1649 George Street in Ridgewood, owned by Miguel Sarmiento, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over recent years. The most recent incident, from June 2025, involved a power outage that prompted an inspection by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), though the inspection could not be completed.
This followed a concerning pattern of heat and hot water problems in 2021, when similar complaints were filed for the entire building in April and May, with one inspection being denied access. The building has also had recurring administrative issues, with HPD issuing Class A violations in 2022, 2023, and 2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though the most recent 2025 report shows no infestation cases for the 2023-2024 period. Looking at the building's maintenance history, there have been five successful rodent inspections from 2011 through 2024, showing consistent compliance with pest management requirements.
The power outage in 2025 represents the only major utility-related issue in recent years, though it is worth noting that there were similar electrical problems in 2021. The building's overall violation pattern shows some administrative challenges regarding bedbug reporting, though these appear to be more about documentation than actual infestation, as the building has maintained a zero-infestation track record in recent filings. While there have been several maintenance issues requiring HPD involvement, the building overall has passed multiple health and safety inspections, particularly regarding pest control and rodent management.
