878 Woodward Avenue, Queens, NY 11385
878 Woodward Avenue is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building located in Ridgewood, constructed in 1912 and currently owned by Basheer Ally. The building has experienced recurring pest issues, with 311 service requests in early 2025 documenting pest-related complaints that HPD was unable to inspect, and open violations from October 2024 citing infestations of mice and roaches in apartment 2L. Recent maintenance concerns include plumbing issues (basin/sink) and problems with walls requiring paint/plaster work, though HPD inspections for these complaints did not result in violations.
The building's systems have faced scrutiny, with multiple complaints about water leaks and ventilation systems in early 2025. Significant violations remain open regarding lost window guards in apartment 3L, and unauthorized alterations to acoustic tile ceilings and vinyl floor tiles in apartment 2L, both from August 2024 inspections. The property has a concerning history of rat infestations, as evidenced by rodent inspection results between 2023 and 2024 showing consistent rat activity.
While there have been some recent improvements, including closed violations for carbon monoxide and smoke detector postings in late 2024, the building maintains several active violations related to unfiled low-pressure inspections between 2018-2022. The Department of Buildings has received multiple illegal conversion complaints regarding the property, though inspections in 2021 and 2023 resulted in access denial. Bedbug inspections from 2021 and 2024 show no reported infestations. The building's heating system received a heat/hot water complaint in February 2025, though HPD found no housing law violations during the inspection.
