1612 Norman Street, Queens, NY 11385

The property at 1612 Norman Street in Ridgewood is a two-story, three-unit residential building constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Colleen Mcentee. The building's documented history shows a cluster of concerning incidents in early 2019, particularly between January and May, when multiple complaints were filed regarding various issues.

These included potential safety concerns such as gas utility problems, illegal gas hook-up/piping, and defective/ exposed electrical wiring - though inspections for some of these complaints were either unable to gain access or resulted in Oath violations being served. The building also experienced significant maintenance challenges, including plumbing issues related to steam pipes and pest infestations, with multiple complaints filed through both the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. While all complaints from this period have been officially closed, with no violations ultimately issued in some cases, the concentration of various maintenance and safety concerns within a relatively short timeframe is notable.

The building's records indicate that several inspections faced access challenges, particularly regarding the illegal conversion and electrical wiring complaints in early 2019. In addition to the aforementioned issues, there was also a general complaint about missing signage in March 2019, categorized as a non-emergency. Since these incidents occurred over four years ago, there have been no documented complaints or service requests in the past two years (2021-2023 timeframe) based on available data, though it's important to note that this does not necessarily indicate that no issues have arisen since then, as not all problems may have been formally reported or recorded.
