1027 Seneca Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

The three-story, six-unit residential building at 1027 Seneca Avenue in Ridgewood, owned by Evdokia Gjini, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, particularly notable during December 2021 when multiple complaints were filed regarding lack of service throughout the entire building. This pattern of complaints suggests ongoing maintenance challenges with the heating system.

More recently, there has been a plumbing-related water supply issue as of March 2025, though an HPD inspector was unable to gain access to verify the problem despite leaving notifications. The building has also faced some safety and maintenance violations, most notably in December 2021 when violations were recorded regarding missing smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors in Apartment 1R, along with issues related to self-closing doors and illegal double-cylinder locks on the entrance door. The property has maintained a good record regarding pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations in the last seven reporting periods from 2019-2024, and passed rodent inspections in 2012, 2013, and 2017, suggesting effective pest management practices.

Two lighting violations were identified in 2022 regarding inadequate lighting at the building's first story entrance and vestibule, but these were subsequently closed. Most recently, in 2023, a violation was issued regarding failure to file the 2021 external low-pressure inspection, though this was dismissed in September 2023. The building's heating system remains a notable area of concern, given the frequency of related complaints and violations over the past several years.
