861 Woodward Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

861 Woodward Avenue is a two-story, four-unit residential building located in Ridgewood, built in 1930 and currently owned by Nazime Kalicovic. The building has experienced recurring pest management challenges over the past several years, with the most recent notable incident being a rodent infestation reported to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene in June 2025, which resulted in violations requiring follow-up inspections.

The property has demonstrated a consistent pattern of bedbug reporting compliance since 2019, though there was a notable violation for failing to file the annual bedbug report in 2021-2022, marked as an "A" class Housing Maintenance Code violation. Historical records show a period with confirmed bedbug infestations in 2019 (affecting three units), but subsequent filings from 2020 to 2025 indicate zero infested or re-infested units. The building's rodent inspection history shows mixed results, with the most recent inspection in June 2025 finding rat activity, while previous inspections in September 2024, June 2017, and May 2016 all passed without recorded issues.

This suggests ongoing challenges with pest management in the building, particularly with rodent control. The property has maintained regular compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2019, and while there was one notable violation in 2021, subsequent filings have shown no current infestations. The most recent rodent activity in June 2025 is the most pressing current concern, as it has resulted in official violations requiring further inspection and potential remediation.
