17-36 Stephen Street, Queens, NY 11385

The three-story, six-unit residential building at 17-36 Stephen Street in Ridgewood, owned by Milena Jovic, has been in operation since 1931 and is classified as a New Law Tenement. The building's maintenance records indicate a generally positive track record over the past several years.

Most notably, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in any of the annual bedbug reporting periods from 2017 through 2024, suggesting effective pest management practices. The building experienced one significant Housing Maintenance Code violation in March 2022 regarding the late filing of the annual bedbug report, though this appears to have been resolved.

The Department of Buildings records show a violation for failure to file the 2017 boiler inspection report in November 2019, which was dismissed in January 2020 following the payment of a civil penalty. The building has undergone regular rodent inspections from 2011 to 2017, with only one failure recorded in 2013 when rat activity was noted; however, all subsequent inspections have passed, indicating effective pest control measures. While the building has experienced some administrative issues with timely reporting and documentation in the past, the most recent records from 2022-2025 show compliance with both bedbug reporting requirements and other health and safety inspections, suggesting improved management of regulatory requirements.
