66-92 Forest Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

The 5-unit, 3-story brick tenement building at 66-92 Forest Avenue in Ridgewood, owned by Varda Zinger and constructed in 1930, has undergone several notable events regarding maintenance and safety over the past several years. Most recently, in early 2025, there is an active complaint regarding illegal or improper vent/exhaust systems, which follows a similar complaint from 2019 that was referred to the Department of Environmental Protection.

The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases between 2019 and 2025, as evidenced by the consistent quarterly bedbug reports showing zero infested units. Historical records show a pattern of rodent management activities in 2011-2012, ranging from bait applications to both passed and failed inspections, but the most recent rodent inspection in 2017 resulted in a "Passed" status, suggesting improved pest control management. The building's recent history includes a food poisoning complaint in 2019, though no resolution details were provided.

A significant administrative oversight occurred in 2022 when the building received a violation for failing to file the required annual bedbug report, though this violation was subsequently closed. While the property has experienced various maintenance issues consistent with its age and building class, the most pressing current concern appears to be the active vent/exhaust complaint filed in 2025. The consistent zero-report on bedbugs since 2021, coupled with the passed rodent inspection in 2017, indicates reasonable attention to pest management, though the timing of these inspections relative to the dates of the complaints should be noted.
