1668 Woodbine Street, Queens, NY 11385

The 3-story, 6-unit tenement building at 1668 Woodbine Street in Ridgewood, owned by Apurv Khanna and constructed in 1930, has a notable history of maintenance violations and rodent control issues over recent years. Most concerning are the recurring Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2021 through 2024, all relating to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD rules, with these violations remaining open as of 2024. The building underwent significant inspections in 2013 that revealed multiple issues requiring attention: missing ceramic wall tiles in the vestibule, encumbrances of household items in the first-floor public hall, a loose and cracked glass door in the vestibule, defective cement steps at the entrance, and a loose fence in the front area way.

While all but one of these violations were closed by 2020, the continued bedbug report violations indicate ongoing compliance challenges. The building has experienced fluctuating rodent-related issues between 2020 and 2024, with inspections showing both passed results and instances requiring bait application in 2022. The most recent rodent inspections in 2023 and 2024 resulted in passing grades, suggesting improved conditions.

However, the presence of both bedbug report violations and previous rodent activity indicates ongoing pest management challenges. The building's maintenance record suggests historical issues with building envelope and entrance security, though many of these past violations were addressed and closed. The most recent bedbug report violations, spanning multiple years, represent the only current category of open violations on record, though there may be other matters not captured in the available data.
