59-06 Woodbine Street, Queens, NY 11385

59-06 Woodbine Street is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building located in Ridgewood, constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Simeon Dan. The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water system issues, with multiple complaints filed in late 2021 and early 2022, including several emergency complaints through 311 and Housing Maintenance Code violations.

Notable among these were violations in 2022 for scalding hot water (148-140 degrees) in Apartment 3L, inadequate heat, and issues with the boiler room access, all of which were eventually closed. The building has also faced maintenance challenges with door-related issues, as evidenced by multiple complaints and violations in late 2021 and early 2022, including a 2022 violation regarding a defective bulkhead door. The property has shown improvement in recent years, with no bedbug or rodent issues reported since 2017, when it passed inspection, and consistent reports showing zero infested units from 2020 through 2024.

Recent inspections in 2022 resulted in multiple violations being addressed, including the installation of required safety notices regarding carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and gas leak procedures in early 2022. All documented 311 complaints have been closed, showing that the building management has taken steps to respond to and resolve tenant concerns, although the pattern of heating system problems remains the most significant recurring issue on record, particularly during the 2021-2022 winter period. The building's most recent bedbug reports (2022-2025) indicate no infestations, suggesting successful pest management practices.
