413 Woodward Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

The three-story, six-unit building at 413 Woodward Avenue in Ridgewood, owned by Elmadije Duraku and built in 1915, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in March 2024, multiple violations were documented in apartment 3R, including problems with the bathtub/shower plumbing, flooring, window frame, and various paint/plaster conditions. These violations included issues with a leaky faucet, a loose wash basin, door-related problems, and paint requirements on specific walls.

More recently, in January 2025, there were multiple service requests regarding unsanitary conditions (pests), electrical outlet issues, and flooring concerns, though inspections were reportedly unable to be completed for some of these complaints. The building's maintenance history shows a consistent pattern of unresolved or recurring issues, with multiple emergency and non-emergency complaints filed throughout 2024-2025. Despite these challenges, there have been no documented bedbug infestations in the building for the past five reporting periods (2022-2025), and a rodent inspection in 2017 resulted in a passing grade.

Notably, there was a complaint regarding the Certificate of Occupancy in 2020, though this was closed with an "Unable To Gain Access" disposition in early 2021. The building's landlord has received multiple violation notices under the Housing Maintenance Code, particularly regarding apartment 3R, with issues ranging from safety concerns (such as defective self-closing doors and missing window guards) to maintenance requirements (such as repairing electrical outlets and addressing plumbing issues). The concentration of complaints and violations, particularly in 2024-2025, suggests ongoing maintenance challenges within the property, though specific details about the resolutions of these issues are not consistently documented in the available data.
