711 Woodward Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

711 Woodward Avenue is a two-story, two-unit residential building in Ridgewood, Brooklyn, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Lai Chun. The building has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over recent years, most notably in 2020, when multiple violations were documented across various maintenance categories. These included problems with flooring, electrical outlets, walls (paint/plaster), windows, and plumbing, particularly affecting Apartment F2 on the second floor.

In March 2021, there was a pest-related complaint that could not be inspected. More recent violations in 2022-2023 included a self-closing door issue at the vestibule and an annual bedbug report compliance matter, though it's worth noting that the bedbug reporting for the periods from 2020-2021 through 2023-2024 shows zero infested units or re-infestations. The building has undergone proper maintenance in recent years, as evidenced by the closure of several violations through certified repairs. The property's inspection history indicates attention to rodent control, with inspections in 2016 and 2017 resulting in passing grades.

While there have been multiple housing maintenance code violations and complaints over the years, most of these have been addressed and closed, with the most recent bedbug reports showing no infestations. Two complaints made in 2020 (October and June) regarding building permits and drainage issues could not be inspected. The building's history suggests a pattern of maintenance issues clustering around 2020, with subsequent years showing improved compliance and no reported infestations or major violations related to pests or bedbugs. Recent inspections and violation resolutions indicate that the property has been actively managed, with many historical issues successfully addressed through repairs and certifications.
