314 Woodward Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

The 5-story, 18-unit residential building at 314 Woodward Avenue in Ridgewood, owned by Woodward Residence LLC and constructed in 1950, has experienced several notable incidents in recent years. Most recently, in July 2023, there was a rodent-related complaint that was investigated by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, but no violations were found. Earlier that year, in January 2023, there were issues with both heat/hot water and an electric/gas range, though investigations by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development found these problems had been resolved before inspection. A plumbing complaint regarding water supply from May 2022 could not be inspected due to lack of access.

The building underwent significant construction activity from 2020-2021, during which several Department of Buildings complaints and violations were recorded. These included issues with construction safety compliance, debris management, and temporary fencing. Multiple citations were issued to King Builders Inc. regarding safety violations and inadequate housekeeping at the construction site, with penalties totaling $625.00.

The construction period also generated several environmental control board violations related to site safety and enforcement, though most were resolved without significant penalties. The property has maintained a consistent record of bedbug control, with all annual reports from 2022-2024 showing zero infested dwelling units. Regular rodent inspections have been conducted, with the most recent in August 2023 passing without issues, and a previous inspection in March 2017 also passing. The building's permit history shows multiple permits issued between February 2020 and August 2021, indicating ongoing maintenance and construction activity during that period.
