61-24 Madison Street, Queens, NY 11385

The four-story New Law Tenement building at 61-24 Madison Street in Ridgewood, owned by Michael Guelly, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most concerning was an emergency heat and hot water outage affecting the entire building in May 2024, though these utilities were reportedly restored within two days.

The building underwent a notable pest control incident in late 2022, with violations issued for a roach infestation in Apartment 1R, along with multiple safety violations including defective self-closing doors and missing window guards in that apartment, though these violations were certified as corrected by December 2022. The building has had two smoking violations recorded in late 2023, both of which were addressed and closed by the Department of Health.

More recently, in May 2024, there was another heat and hot water issue reported to HPD, though this was resolved within one day. The building's maintenance history shows a relatively clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past six annual reporting periods (2019-2024), except for one isolated incident in 2018 that was promptly addressed. While the building has experienced some recurring maintenance issues, particularly with heating systems, most reported violations appear to have been addressed in a timely manner.
