1843 Norman Street, Queens, NY 11385

1843 Norman Street is a 3-story, 3-unit residential building located in Ridgewood, Queens, constructed in 1915 and currently owned by Magin Schantz. The building has experienced recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance, as evidenced by open Housing Maintenance Code violations for failure to file annual bedbug reports in accordance with HPD rules as recently as April 2024, and similar violations in previous years (2023 and 2022).

Despite these compliance issues, the building's official bedbug reports from 2019 to 2023 indicate no actual infestations occurred during the reporting periods, with zero units affected or requiring eradication. The building's rodent control history shows both positive and negative trends. A concerning pattern emerged in late 2012, with multiple inspections revealing rat activity between October and December, during which bait was applied repeatedly.

However, all subsequent rodent inspections from 2013 through 2017 resulted in passing grades, suggesting successful eradication of rodent issues following the 2012 infestation period. While the building has maintained a rodent-free status in recent years, the recurring bedbug report compliance violations suggest ongoing management challenges. The most recent inspection data shows a consistent pattern of missed bedbug report filings, with the most recent violation being the only open violation currently on record.
