64-03 Forest Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

The two-story, four-unit residential building at 64-03 Forest Avenue in Ridgewood, owned by Maged Gergis and built in 1930, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over recent years. In early 2025, the building faced complaints regarding unsanitary conditions, specifically concerning mold and pest infestations, though inspections by the Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) department found no violations of housing laws, resulting in the cases being closed.

The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) addressed a smoking violation reported in 2022, which was ultimately administratively closed. More recently, in April 2025, a complaint was filed regarding work conducted without a permit in occupied multiple dwelling units; however, inspectors were unable to gain access to investigate the issue.

The building's bedbug reporting history shows a consistent absence of infestations, with annual filings from 2021 through 2024 indicating zero infested units, eradicated units, or re-infested dwellings during the respective reporting periods. While the recent mold and pest complaints suggest some ongoing maintenance challenges, the lack of bedbug infestations and the closure of most complaints without finding violations indicate some level of compliance with housing regulations, though prospective tenants should be aware of the documented unsanitary condition complaints from early 2025.
