6024 Bleecker Street, Queens, NY 11385

The two-family house at 6024 Bleecker Street in Ridgewood, owned by Rafal Paliwoda, has experienced a series of maintenance issues over the past two years that warrant attention. As of May 2025, there are two open complaints with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) regarding unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage and missing signage.

Throughout 2024-2025, multiple complaints were filed regarding various safety and maintenance concerns, including electrical wiring issues, outlet problems, plumbing concerns (particularly water supply), and flooring/stairs maintenance. Notably, there were three separate plumbing complaints between November 2024 and March 2025, two of which were classified as emergencies. Several complaints required HPD inspectors to attempt access for verification, but in many cases, the inspectors were unable to gain access, leading to closed status due to non-response rather than resolution of the issues.

Additional historical data reveals concerns about building safety systems, including a broken/missing window guard complaint in March 2025 (which was inspected but did not violate housing laws), and two Department of Buildings complaints from July 2024 regarding defective electrical wiring and gas piping, both of which were closed due to inability to gain access during inspections. A 2022 complaint regarding illegal conversion of the property was also investigated but resulted in no violations at the time of inspection. The building, constructed in 1925, clearly requires ongoing attention to address recurring maintenance issues, particularly in the areas of plumbing, electrical systems, and general maintenance compliance.
