57-11 Catalpa Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

The two-family house at 57-11 Catalpa Avenue in Ridgewood, owned by Michael Difonzo, has maintained a generally good record since 2019, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years across multiple inspection periods, most recently in 2024. Recent rodent inspections have shown consistent compliance, with the most recent inspection in September 2024 passing without any significant issues.

The building has undergone regular maintenance and improvements, as evidenced by numerous permits issued between 2020 and 2024, covering various types of work including plumbing (PL) and exterior work (EW). Of particular note is the building's permit activity in 2024, with permits issued in April for EW work, following a pattern of similar permit activity in previous years, indicating ongoing upkeep and maintenance.

Looking at the historical data, the building experienced some rodent-related concerns between 2013-2015, with initial inspections failing for "Other Reasons" in 2013 and showing rat activity in February 2015, but these issues appear to have been resolved as all subsequent inspections have passed. The property's renovation history shows a regular pattern of permit issuance, with the most recent permits in 2023-2024 suggesting continued attention to building maintenance and improvements. The building's age (constructed in 1910) is noteworthy, but the consistent pattern of passing inspections and lack of recent pest issues indicates regular upkeep of the property.
