Augrented Insights Report for 70-02 Forest Avenue

The 6-unit building at 70-02 Forest Avenue in Ridgewood, owned by Viorel Fera, was constructed in 1930 and has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent years, with particular concerns about mold, electrical systems, and pest infestations. Between October 2023 and July 2025, there have been multiple reports of unsanitary conditions including mold (most recently in late 2024), pest infestations, and various maintenance issues.

A cluster of housing maintenance code violations issued in December 2024 for apartment 1R includes problems with doors, electrical wiring, bathroom fixtures, water leaks, and pest control. The building's maintenance history reveals recurring issues with windows, doors, and electrical systems, with multiple complaints about window frames and electrical outlets between 2024 and 2025. The property has faced regulatory scrutiny for unauthorized modifications, including two complaints in 2022-2023 regarding work without proper permits, resulting in Environmental Control Board violations with penalties totaling $1,875.

Recent emergency complaints in June 2025 highlighted issues with window guards, window frames, mold, plumbing (radiator), water leaks, and refrigerator problems. While the building passed a rodent compliance inspection in November 2024, there was evidence of rat activity in September 2024, though historical records show consistent passing results in previous years (2016-2017). Despite these numerous violations and maintenance challenges, the building's bedbug reporting history shows no infestation cases reported in the last two reporting periods (2024 and 2021).
