1010 Seneca Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

The two-family residence at 1010 Seneca Avenue in Ridgewood, owned by Peter Chernoff, has experienced several health and safety inspections over the past five years, with particular attention to rodent-related issues. Most recently, in July 2024, a rat sighting complaint was filed but the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) was unable to access the property for inspection.

This followed a confirmed rodent-attracting condition in February 2022, though that inspection resulted in only minor violations, and a January 2020 inspection that found no violations. The building's pest control record appears relatively stable, with no bedbug infestations reported during the most recent inspection period from November 2022 to October 2023, and no units requiring eradication or experiencing re-infestation. Additional concerns have emerged from the Department of Buildings (DOB), including a vacant, open, and unguarded property complaint filed in May 2023 regarding a nearby address (11385).

This complaint underwent inspection in September 2024, but the inspector was unable to gain access following multiple attempts. While this complaint pertains to a different address, it may indicate general access and security challenges in the vicinity. Overall, while the property has faced recurring rodent-related complaints requiring DOHMH intervention, it has generally passed inspections with minimal violations, and there are no current active complaints or health violations on record as of October 2023.
