17-38 Stephen Street, Queens, NY 11385
The 6-unit, 3-story residential building at 17-38 Stephen Street in Ridgewood, owned by Sara Chacon, was constructed in 1931 as a New Law Tenement. The building has experienced several notable maintenance issues over the past decade.
Most concerning is an open violation from August 2022 requiring the posting of gas leak emergency procedures and carbon monoxide detector requirements in common areas, which remain unresolved nearly three years later. An electrical power outage incident occurred in August 2022, though no violations were issued following the Department of Housing Preservation and Development's inspection. Prior to this, the building had documented maintenance issues in 2018, including problems with plaster surfaces and ceiling finishes in Apartment 2L.
The building's history shows fluctuating rodent control challenges between 2011 and 2017, with multiple instances of rat activity recorded in 2012-2013, though inspections passed in subsequent years, showing improved conditions. The property has maintained a perfect record regarding bedbug infestations for the past five years, with all annual reports (2019-2024) showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues over the years, it's worth noting that many violations have been promptly addressed, and recent inspections (2018-2023) show improved conditions in areas previously requiring attention, particularly regarding vermin control.
