65-13 Forest Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

65-13 Forest Avenue is a three-story, four-unit residential building located in Ridgewood, built in 1930 and currently owned by Giuseppa Montalbano. The property has experienced recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance over the past several years, with open Housing Maintenance Code violations recorded in 2023 and 2024, both citing failure to file the required annual bedbug reports as per HPD regulations.

While these violations indicate a pattern of non-compliance, it's worth noting that the building's official bedbug reports submitted in 2021 and 2022 showed no infestations during the respective reporting periods, with "0" units affected, treated, or re-infested in each case. The building has undergone regular rodent inspections in recent years, with successful results recorded in both 2017 and 2012, suggesting effective pest management in this area.

The property was classified as a "NEW LAW TENEMENT," which typically pertains to buildings subject to New York City's 2007 Bedbug Disclosure Law and other related housing regulations. While the open violations regarding bedbug reporting are concerning, the absence of actual infestations in the building's official reports indicates that the management has not had to address any bedbug issues directly, though the repeated violations of reporting requirements suggest administrative oversight rather than operational concerns.
