68-30 Forest Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

The three-story, two-unit building at 68-30 Forest Avenue in Ridgewood, owned by Allie Dweck and dating back to 1901, has experienced several concerning incidents in recent years, with the most significant being a sewage-related health violation in late 2024 that could not be inspected due to lack of access. Recent maintenance issues include a water leak and window frame problem reported in 2024, both of which were investigated but no violations were found.

In 2023, the building faced multiple serious violations related to illegal occupancy, including unauthorized use of cellar space, inadequate fire safety systems, and insufficient means of egress, which resulted in fines totaling $17,500. These violations were supposedly resolved by the Environmental Control Board, though they indicate a history of occupancy and safety compliance issues. The building's maintenance record shows regular bedbug reporting compliance over the past several years, with no infestations reported between 2018 and 2024.

Infrastructure concerns include a history of rodent inspections in 2016, 2017, and 2020, all of which passed, suggesting generally stable pest management. Recent complaints and violations suggest ongoing maintenance and compliance monitoring challenges, with the most pressing current issue being the unresolved sewage condition from late 2024. The building's property history shows a mix of documented maintenance issues, some resolved through inspections, while others, particularly the recent sewage complaint, remain problematic due to access issues during inspections.
