506 Woodward Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

The two-story, four-unit residential building at 506 Woodward Avenue in Ridgewood, owned by Majestic Bricks Llc, has a mixed compliance history since its construction in 1930. Most notably, the property experienced a concerning pattern of rat activity between late 2021 and early 2022, with multiple inspections during that period (January through March 2022) showing active infestations. Since then, there has been one documented rat sighting in November 2021, though this complaint was closed as it followed an earlier report, and a passed rodent inspection in September 2024 suggests conditions may have improved.

The building underwent a complaint investigation in October 2024 regarding unauthorized work in an occupied multiple dwelling, but no violations were found during the inspection. The property has demonstrated consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements over the past six years, with all filings (from 2019 through 2025) showing zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and no re-infestations recorded. This suggests effective pest management practices with regard to bedbugs.

The building's most recent rodent inspection in 2024, following a period of multiple rat activity findings in 2022, indicates potential improvements in pest control measures, though the initial inspections in early 2022 highlighted significant challenges during that time. While the recent bedbug-free status and improved rodent inspection results are encouraging, the building has experienced historical challenges with both rodent and bedbug infestations. The most recent open complaint regarding unauthorized work in an occupied multiple dwelling from October 2024, though resulting in no violations, represents the latest known building issue on record.
