1039 Seneca Avenue, Queens, NY 11385
The 5-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building at 1039 Seneca Avenue in Ridgewood, owned by Ronald Ramsumair, has experienced several notable maintenance issues since 2019, with a particular pattern of heat and hot water problems. Between 2019 and 2021, there were five separate complaints regarding lack of heat or hot water affecting the entire building, with inspections often unable to gain access for verification, though in some cases tenants reported restoration of services. More recently, in 2023, there was one rodent sighting complaint which resulted in an inspection that passed with only minor violations noted.
The building has demonstrated good compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no reported infestations in the last four reporting periods from 2021 to 2024. The property has undergone multiple inspections and received various Housing Maintenance Code violations, primarily related to safety requirements. In 2021, violations were issued for failing to properly post important safety notices regarding gas leak procedures, smoke detector requirements, carbon monoxide detector requirements, and the location of the heating system keyholder.
Additionally, there were violations regarding the annual bedbug reporting requirement in 2021-2024. A notable safety-related issue was documented in 2020 regarding the condition of a fire escape ladder shoe, which was subsequently corrected in 2021. The building received its most recent bedbug inspection in 2024 with no active or previously infested units reported, and the most recent rodent inspection in 2023 also passed. The property has maintained consistent records of addressing basic maintenance requirements, though the recurring heat/hot water issues from 2019-2021 represent the most significant pattern of resident comfort concerns in recent history.
