1704 Woodbine Street, Queens, NY 11385

The three-story, six-unit residential building at 1704 Woodbine Street in Ridgewood, owned by Johann Troia, has experienced several maintenance challenges in recent years. Most notably, there are currently open violations from December 2024 in apartment 1R, including issues with rodent infestation (mice and roaches), multiple repair needs (including a problematic self-closing door, broken window sash spring balance, and damaged kitchen cabinet), and concerns about lead-based paint hazards in two rooms that tested positive for lead content.

The building has shown a persistent pattern of unsanitary conditions, with multiple reporting instances of mold in late 2024, despite inspections finding no violations. Between September and December 2024, multiple complaints were filed regarding paint/plaster issues (affecting walls and ceilings), flooring problems, window frame concerns, and various other maintenance needs, some of which resulted in violations.

Earlier records indicate ongoing pest control efforts, particularly regarding rodent issues, with multiple bait applications documented between September 2024 and December 2024. The building's history includes some positive aspects, such as consistent reporting periods showing zero bedbug infestations from 2020 through 2024, and a relatively stable occupancy pattern in its original 1930 configuration as a New Law Tenement building. However, the frequency and nature of recent complaints, particularly regarding mold, pest infestations, and maintenance violations, suggest ongoing challenges with building upkeep and tenant comfort.
