64-36 Madison Street, Queens, NY 11385

64-36 Madison Street is a 3-story, 6-unit New Law tenement building located in Ridgewood, built in 1930 and currently owned by Gino Triolo. The building has experienced significant heating system issues, with nine heat/hot water-related complaints filed between April 7-24, 2024, affecting either individual apartments or the entire building. While some inspections determined that heat was not required at the time, several violations remain open, including inadequate heat supply in apartment 2L and generally defective heating systems.

The building has multiple open violations concerning apartment 1L, including defective self-closing doors, missing smoke detectors, missing carbon monoxide detectors, and fire egress issues. Additionally, there are three active Department of Buildings violations regarding failure to file External Low Pressure Inspections for the years 2021-2023, one of which was recently dismissed as of December 2024. On a positive note, the building's most recent bedbug report for the period November 2023 - October 2024 shows no infestations, maintaining the zero infestation record from the previous reporting period (2019-2020).

The building's violation history reveals ongoing maintenance challenges, with open Class B and Class C violations that could impact resident safety. The April 2024 heat-related complaints form a significant cluster of service requests within a short timeframe, suggesting potential systemic heating system problems. The property has also faced issues with building security, as evidenced by violations concerning illegal fastenings at entrances and gates. While the absence of bedbug infestations in the most recent reporting periods is notable, the building's current open violations and recent service request patterns indicate ongoing maintenance and safety concerns that are being addressed through the regulatory process.
