2059 Gates Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

2059 Gates Avenue is a 3-story, 6-unit residential tenement building located in Ridgewood, Queens, owned by Djulija Likovic and constructed in 1908. The building's maintenance history shows several notable patterns, particularly regarding regulatory compliance.

Most recently, in 2023, the building received an A-class violation for failing to file the annual bedbug report as required by HPD, though this violation was subsequently closed. This marked the second consecutive year (following a similar 2022 violation) where the bedbug reporting requirement was not initially met, though records show no actual infestations occurred during this period, with all annual reports from 2019-2025 reporting zero infested or eradicated units. The building's history also includes a 2019 violation related to delayed boiler inspection report filing, which was dismissed in early 2020 after the owner paid a penalty of $1,000.

The property has undergone multiple rodent inspections over the years, with initial inspections in 2017 passing without issues, but more recent inspections in early 2022 indicating rat activity. While the building has experienced several regulatory violations, it's important to note that these primarily relate to reporting requirements rather than direct resident safety concerns, and the property has consistently demonstrated effective pest management through its bedbug reporting history. The owner's most recent filings from 2024 and 2025 continue to show no recorded instances of bedbug activity, suggesting improved compliance with reporting requirements, though the 2023 violation remains a notable exception in the recent history.
