561 Fairview Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

This 2-story, 3-unit residential building at 561 Fairview Avenue in Ridgewood, built in 1930 and currently owned by Raanan Laufer, has undergone regular inspections and has maintained a generally good record in recent years. The property has consistently demonstrated effective pest control management, as evidenced by five consecutive annual bedbug reports from 2021 through 2025 showing zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units.

The building has experienced some rodent-related challenges, with an initial inspection in June 2023 noting rat activity, though this was followed by a compliance inspection in August 2023 that resulted in a passing grade. Significantly, the building has received two Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements - one in April 2021 and another in March 2023 - though these were likely administrative in nature and do not indicate an active infestation problem.

Despite these violations, the consistent pattern of zero infested units reported in subsequent annual filings suggests that the management has been diligent in addressing pest-related concerns once they were identified. The property's most recent inspection records indicate active management and compliance efforts, with a focus on maintaining proper reporting procedures and responding to any pest control issues as they arise.
