785 Woodward Avenue, Queens, NY 11385
The two-story, four-unit residential building at 785 Woodward Avenue in Ridgewood, owned by Frank Santoro and dating back to 1930, has recently experienced several maintenance issues requiring attention from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). In the summer of 2024, there were multiple complaints regarding flooring and stair conditions, particularly affecting both floors, though inspections during June 2024 found no violations.
There were also concerns about unsanitary conditions, with two complaints in August 2024 regarding pests (specifically roaches and mice) in apartment 1L, which remain open as of the latest inspection in August 2024. Other maintenance issues identified in 2024 included problems with stairs, ceilings, and various regulatory compliance matters. The building has been subject to several Housing Maintenance Code violations and emergency complaints in 2024, including multiple infractions regarding building entrance door functionality and security, such as defective self-closing doors and latch assemblies.
Additional violations involved improper posting of required notices, including those related to smoke detector requirements and building heating system contact information. While there have been significant maintenance concerns recently, it's worth noting that the building has not reported any bedbug infestations in the past three reporting periods from 2021 to 2024, and previous rodent inspections conducted in 2016 and 2017 showed passing results. The building has been responsive to some violations, with several being closed through proper certification, though multiple issues remain open as of the latest available data.
