1827 Woodbine Street, Queens, NY 11385

The property at 1827 Woodbine Street in Ridgewood is a 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building built in 1913, currently owned by Gina Sita-molz. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water service, particularly between 2019-2020 when multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding lack of such services throughout the entire building. More recent concerns center around apartment 3L, which received several violation notices in 2023 for missing safety equipment including smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, as well as having unauthorized acoustic ceiling tiles.

The apartment also had documented maintenance issues in 2022-2023 including problems with flooring, walls, and debris blocking emergency exits, though many of these violations were subsequently closed. The building has been subject to rodent-related complaints and inspections, with the most recent activity occurring throughout 2024, including both passed inspections and bait applications. While there have been sporadic rodent sightings reported through 311 calls in 2024 and 2023, the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene inspections found no violations.

The building's maintenance history shows various non-emergency issues being reported and addressed, including electrical problems with outlets and switch controls (most recently in 2023) and multiple inspections for heating systems. An open Department of Buildings violation from 2023 indicates failure to file the 2022 external low pressure inspection, and there have been recent complaints filed regarding illegal conversion and work without permits, though these were either closed without violation or resulted in the inspector being unable to gain access. The property has maintained a consistent record of zero bedbug infestations reported over the past five years, with regular monitoring and reporting showing eradicated units and no re-infestations.
