66-05 Forest Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

The 2-story, 4-unit building at 66-05 Forest Avenue in Ridgewood, built in 1930 and currently owned by 66-05 Forest LLC, has had several significant maintenance and compliance issues in recent years. Most notably, in May 2025, there was a serious plumbing situation that resulted in a Partial Stop Work Order and the proposed revocation of plumbing approvals and permits due to the suspension of the licensed master plumber.

The building has experienced ongoing rodent issues, with multiple complaints and inspections showing rat activity in 2023. According to 311 records, there were rat sightings reported in February 2023, which were linked to earlier complaints. The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene confirmed rat activity during compliance inspections in March 2023 and February 2023.

While the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with zero reported infestations or eradicable units in the past several years (2020-2024), it fell out of compliance with Housing Maintenance Code requirements in March 2022 by failing to file the required annual bedbug report. The building's inspection history shows a mix of passed and failed inspections, with the most concerning issues being the recent plumbing violations and the ongoing rodent problems. The property's most recent Bedbug Reporting filings from 2022 to 2024 show consistent zero counts for infested, eradicated, and re-infested units, indicating effective management of this particular pest issue.
