63-37 Forest Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 63-37 Forest Avenue in Ridgewood, owned by Wojciech Wlodkowski, has experienced several maintenance and safety concerns in recent years. Most significantly, in September 2024, the building faced multiple emergency complaints regarding unsanitary sewage conditions and window frame issues, with one of the sewage complaints resulting in an unsuccessful inspection due to lack of access.

The building currently has several open Class A and B violations as of October 2024, including requirements to post carbon monoxide detector notices, maintain smoke detectors, and address various safety-related signage requirements in common areas. Specific issues were documented in Apartment 1R, including defective self-closing doors and window problems.

The property has had some historical compliance issues, with an active violation as of June 2023 regarding failure to file 2021 external low-pressure inspections, and a 2020 complaint about work without a permit, though this was closed with no violation found. While the building has maintained a bedbug-free status through multiple reporting periods from 2021 through 2025, there were reports of rat activity in May 2023, though subsequent inspections in June 2023 and earlier inspections in 2012 and 2017 passed without any identified issues. The building's records indicate ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding safety equipment and sanitation issues, though some historical complaints have been resolved.
