1623 Norman Street, Queens, NY 11385

The three-unit, two-story residential building at 1623 Norman Street in Ridgewood, currently owned by Chantale Thomas, has experienced recurring pest-related issues over the past several years, most notably concerning rodent infestations. The most recent incident was reported in December 2024, when residents complained about unsanitary conditions related to pests.

Although the HPD inspector attempted to investigate the complaint, access was not granted, leading to the case being closed due to insufficient follow-up communication from the building's occupants. This closed case from 2024 followed a documented rat sighting incident in 2019, which was forwarded to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and typically would prompt an inspection or notification to the property owner.

The building, constructed in 1930, is classified as HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A, indicating it has undergone some form of conversion to its current apartment configuration. While the documented complaints primarily revolve around pest-related issues, it's worth noting that these complaints were resolved through standard channels (inspection attempts and notifications), suggesting that there have been no reported incidents threatening resident safety or structural integrity. The property has shown some history of pest-related challenges, with the most recent complaint remaining open as of May 2025.
