1714 Woodbine Street, Queens, NY 11385

1714 Woodbine Street is a 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building located in Ridgewood, built in 1930 and currently owned by Chunsau Yim. The property has experienced several safety and maintenance issues over the past five years, with the most significant concerns centered around lead paint compliance. In 2021, multiple violations were issued regarding the need to certify compliance with lead-based paint hazard control requirements in apartments 1R, 2L, and 3L, with additional violations related to failure to notify occupants and investigate lead paint hazards, as well as failure to provide required records related to lead paint safety.

These violations remained largely open through 2021-2022, suggesting ongoing compliance issues. The building has also faced various safety concerns, including a broken window guard reported in December 2019, which was subsequently closed after inspection. More recent inspections have documented rodent activity, with the most recent indicating rat activity in November 2024, following a failed inspection in September 2024.

The building's bedbug reports from 2020 through 2024 show consistent reporting of zero infested units, indicating successful management of this particular pest issue. While the property has had regular rodent inspections since 2014, the recent failures in 2024 suggest deteriorating conditions. The building's common areas have been cited for storage violations, including encumbrances such as bicycles, shoes, boxes, mirrors, and umbrellas, though these specific violations have been marked as closed. The property has maintained consistent bedbug-free status over multiple reporting periods, indicating effective pest management in this regard.
