1711 Woodbine Street, Queens, NY 11385

1711 Woodbine Street is a 3-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement building located in Ridgewood, built in 1930, and currently owned by Angel Mercado. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with four documented complaints between 2020 and 2023, showing a pattern of temperature regulation problems affecting the entire building. The most recent incident occurred in October 2023, while earlier complaints from 2022 and 2021 resulted in the Housing Preservation and Development department being unable to gain access to perform inspections.

A cluster of emergency heat-related complaints was recorded in November 2020, with multiple tenants reporting similar issues, though inspections were not completed in all cases. In terms of building maintenance and safety, the apartment 2L had several violations documented in February 2020. These included problems with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, water leaks, damaged walls and floors, as well as issues with door functionality and window guards.

While some violations were resolved by March 2020, several remain open, including concerns about plaster surfaces, bathroom maintenance, and flooring conditions. The building has maintained a good record regarding pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past five years (2020-2025) and successful rodent inspections showing passing results in 2013, 2014, 2016, and 2017. A 2019 complaint regarding falling debris was recorded but resulted in an inspector being unable to gain access for verification.
