Augrented Insights Report for 5611 Catalpa Avenue

The three-family house at 5611 Catalpa Avenue in Ridgewood, dating back to 1930, has experienced several regulatory and maintenance issues in recent years under the ownership of Catapala Venture LLC. Most notably, in late 2024, the property was cited for multiple significant violations related to unauthorized construction work, including the installation of HVAC systems and fire escapes. The building is currently facing active Environmental Control Board violations with substantial penalties totaling $31,875 for improper installation of mini-split HVAC units, facade issues, and newly added fire escapes, all reportedly installed without the necessary permits.

The Department of Buildings recorded several complaints in 2024-2025 regarding unpermitted work and after-hours construction, with one inspection resulting in a Partial Stop Work Order and another leading to Oath Violations. The building has also faced ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding pest control. Recent rodent inspections in early 2025 indicated continued rat activity, following similar findings in late 2024.

However, the property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past five years. The building has undergone significant modifications in recent years, including the installation of new life safety features such as fire escapes, though these modifications have triggered compliance issues due to lack of proper permitting. The most recent rodent control efforts have involved regular bait application throughout 2025, suggesting an ongoing pest management program is in place.
