702 Woodward Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

702 Woodward Avenue is a 2-story, 5-unit residential building located in Ridgewood and constructed in 1930, currently owned by Radovan Neducin. The property has undergone significant construction activity from 2020 through the present, generating multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) violations primarily related to construction safety compliance and temporary construction equipment. Most notably, there are several active ECB violations from 2022, with penalties totaling over $33,000, concerning expired permits and improper maintenance of construction fences and sidewalk sheds.

These violations include issues with fence maintenance, missing bracings, and unpermitted temporary construction equipment. The building has had consistent construction-related complaints with violations served in November 2022, June 2022, February 2022, and February 2021, all regarding construction safety compliance or work beyond approved plans/permits. More recent developments show some positive trends: the building has not reported any bedbug infestations in the past three reporting periods (2022-2024), and a rodent inspection in October 2024 passed, following an initial inspection in September 2024 that noted rat activity.

Multiple permits have been processed for the building between 2020 and 2024, with the most recent permit (AL) currently in process as of August 2024. The property has demonstrated ongoing compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, consistently showing zero infested or re-infested dwelling units since 2022. While the extensive construction activity suggests significant ongoing improvements to the property, the numerous safety violations and penalties related to construction equipment and safety compliance from 2020-2022 indicate a history of regulatory non-compliance that has required remediation. The building's current status as a "Hereafter Converted Class A" property suggests a transition to full residential use, though the nature of the building's conversion and any associated requirements or implications are not detailed in the provided data.
