61-19 Madison Street, Queens, NY 11385

At 61-19 Madison Street in Ridgewood, this 8-unit, 4-story New Law tenement built in 1930 and currently owned by Vincenzo Digregorio has faced several notable issues over recent years, particularly regarding apartment 4L. Between late 2022 and early 2023, the building underwent multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations, with significant concerns including lead paint hazards and window guard deficiencies in apartment 4L, as well as problems with self-closing doors in both the apartment and common areas.

The property also experienced two concerning instances of indoor air quality complaints in early 2019 related to chemical vapors, though these were resolved with proper protocols from the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. More positively, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all recent filings from 2019 through 2024 reporting zero infested or re-infested units, and all violations from 2022-2023 have been officially closed with certifications of compliance.

The most recent housing violations (lead paint and window guard issues) were certified as corrected by March 2023. In terms of pest control, a rodent inspection conducted in May 2017 resulted in a passing grade, indicating no problems in that area. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues over the years, recent inspections and compliance certifications suggest improved management of these matters, though prospective tenants should note the building's history of air quality complaints and past maintenance violations.
