1018 Cypress Avenue, Queens, NY 11385
The 1018 Cypress Avenue building in Ridgewood is a 6-unit, 3-story old-law tenement built in 1931, currently owned by Jack Zicherman. The building has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with multiple complaints filed in late 2024 and early 2025, though most were found not to violate housing laws. Notable concerns include electrical wiring problems (with violations issued), sink plumbing issues, slow water leaks, and various other maintenance matters involving ceilings and appliances, all primarily addressed between December 2024 and March 2025.
The property has active Department of Buildings violations from June 2023 regarding failures to file external low-pressure inspections for 2018-2021. The building has a history of more serious compliance issues that warrant attention. In 2018, there were significant violations related to occupancy, including illegal occupancy noted despite a previous vacate order, and failure to comply with commissioner's orders.
Three emergency housing maintenance code violations were recorded in March 2025, specifically concerning electrical wiring and plumbing issues. However, it's worth noting that in recent years, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with official reports from 2022-2024 showing zero infested units, and recent rodent inspections in 2011, 2012, 2017, and 2024 all passed. The building was also subject to a Stop Work Order in 2022 related to construction enforcement, and historical violations exist from 1987 regarding metal paint requirements. While many recent complaints have been addressed, the active violations regarding pressure system inspections and recurring electrical issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.
