57-20 Catalpa Avenue, Queens, NY 11385
The 6-unit, 3-story residential building at 57-20 Catalpa Avenue in Ridgewood, owned by Estira Selak, has been in operation since 1909 and is classified as a New Law Tenement.
The building has notable compliance issues with the Housing Maintenance Code, as evidenced by four consecutive years of violations from 2021 to 2024, all related to the failure to file the required annual bedbug reports, which remains an open violation as of April 2024. More recently, in September 2024, the building received a Department of Buildings violation for failing to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection, which is currently active.
On a positive note, the building has consistently passed rodent inspections over the past decade, with successful completions on five separate occasions from 2013 to 2024, indicating good maintenance in this area. While the building's age of 116 years is typical for the area, the pattern of bedbug reporting violations suggests ongoing challenges with compliance to current housing regulations, though the exact impact on resident experience is not directly measurable from the available data.
