1879 Woodbine Street, Queens, NY 11385

The two-story, four-unit residential building at 1879 Woodbine Street in Ridgewood, owned by Benedetto Davi, has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues over recent years. Most notably, there are currently unresolved violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports in 2023 and 2024. The building has a recurring rodent problem, with "Rat Activity" confirmed in September and October 2024 inspections, following similar findings in November 2021, and more recently in the summer of 2023.

Historical records show multiple bedbug-related complaints between 2019 and 2024, though the official reports filed in 2021 and 2022 indicated no infested units during those periods. The property has undergone various maintenance challenges, particularly in 2019 when multiple violations were documented, including issues with interior plaster surfaces, unauthorized acoustic ceiling installations in Apartment 1R, and problems with the building's entrance door lock. While some of these violations were closed, others remain open.

The building's history includes several failed inspection attempts for Local Law 188/17 compliance in 2020, with inspectors unable to gain access on multiple occasions. Additionally, the Department of Buildings records show three permit issuances in 2020, suggesting some ongoing work or maintenance was being conducted. The property has generally maintained compliance with rodent inspections in earlier years, passing inspections between 2010 and 2017, before the recent pattern of activity was noted.
