1712 Woodbine Street, Queens, NY 11385

1712 Woodbine Street is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building located in Ridgewood, built in 1930 and currently owned by Judith Girtz. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over recent years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in June 2022 when multiple complaints were filed, including emergencies related to water leaks (heavy flow), electrical lighting issues, ceiling paint/plaster problems, window pane defects, and unsanitary conditions involving pests and mold.

These complaints were all investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), though no violations were ultimately issued. Prior to this, in 2018, there was a documented heat and hot water issue that was reportedly resolved during HPD's intervention. The building's violation history shows some concerning open violations from November 2018, including issues with self-closing doors, which were previously addressed, as well as requirements to maintain proper safety notices regarding gas leaks and housing information.

However, more recent inspections suggest improvements, with the most recent rodent inspection in September 2024 passing successfully, and annual bedbug reports consistently showing no infestations or related issues. The 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code Complaints indicate that while the building has faced multiple maintenance challenges, particularly in 2022, there has been no bedbug infestation since 2019 and the rodent situation appears to be under control based on recent inspections. The property continues to be monitored through regular HPD and DOHMH inspections, with all recent complaints having been closed out properly, though some historical violations from 2018 regarding building safety notices remain open as of the latest records.
