64-40 Madison Street, Queens, NY 11385

64-40 Madison Street is a 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building located in Ridgewood, constructed in 1930 and currently owned by John Disalvo. The most pressing current issues involve potential lead dust concerns from ongoing construction, with complaints filed October 5 and October 7, 2024, both of which remain unresolved as of now. The building has experienced recurring problems with paint and plaster work, with two separate complaints in October 2024, though these were investigated by HPD and closed without any violations being issued.

Historical data shows a pattern of heat and hot water issues in late 2019, with two complaints filed in November and December of that year, though no violations were found during inspections. The building has met its bedbug reporting requirements consistently over the past five years, with no reported infestations or re-infestations. Multiple safety violations were recorded following a November 2019 inspection, including issues with smoke detector requirements, carbon monoxide detector functionality, and the need for proper gas leak notice postings in common areas.

All these violations were certified as corrected by December 2019. More recently, a Department of Buildings violation was issued in April 2023 regarding the failure to file the 2022 external low pressure inspection, though this was dismissed by June 2023. The most recent rodent inspection conducted in July 2025 resulted in a failed status for "Other Reasons," indicating potential pest control issues that may require attention.
