The 6-unit, 3-story tenement building at 1679 Gates Avenue in Ridgewood, owned by Dominika Malinowskasumera, has had several notable maintenance and safety incidents since 2019. Most recently, in June 2025, the building experienced multiple non-emergency maintenance issues including problems with plumbing fixtures (bathtub/shower and sink), ceiling plaster, and flooring, as well as safety concerns related to smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. A significant emergency complaint regarding heat and hot water affecting the entire building was received and closed in October 2022. The building has documented three years of positive bedbug reporting history from 2019-2023, showing no infestations, and passed its most recent rodent inspections in October 2024, though there were documented rat activity issues in September 2023 and September 2024.
The building's compliance history shows some areas of concern in 2019 related to security features in apartment 2R, including issues with self-closing doors and defective hardware, though these violations were subsequently closed. Inspection records from 2021-2023 show multiple complaints regarding building access during inspections, particularly regarding Certificate of Occupancy and illegal work complaints. While the property has generally maintained basic compliance with housing maintenance codes, the cluster of maintenance issues reported in 2025, particularly regarding essential systems like plumbing and safety equipment, warrants attention.
