679 Woodward Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

The 5-unit, 3-story building at 679 Woodward Avenue in Ridgewood, owned by Anna Jurek, has been in operation since 1930 and has experienced several significant events over the past 15 years. Most notably, there are current and recent issues with bedbug reporting compliance, with an open violation from April 2024 and a previous violation from March 2022 regarding failure to file the annual bedbug report as required by HPD.

While the building's official bedbug reports from 2019 through 2022 showed no infested units, the violation suggests ongoing administrative issues with compliance rather than infestation problems. The building has also experienced two concerning incidents in 2023: a complaint about building shaking or vibration in February (though the inspector was unable to gain access), and an illegal after-hours work complaint in April that was investigated but found no violations. Additionally, the building's rodent inspection history shows a pattern of passing inspections in 2016, 2017, and 2011, with only one instance of rat activity noted in December 2010, indicating generally effective pest management over the past decade.

The building's documented history shows regular maintenance and compliance with most housing codes, though the recurring bedbug reporting violations suggest some administrative oversight challenges. The rodent inspection results demonstrate effective management of pest control measures when issues have arisen, with only a single documented instance of rat activity over the past 15 years. While the vibration complaint in 2023 raises some concerns about building stability, the inspector's inability to gain access means there was no confirmed verification of the issue.
