66-99 Forest Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

The two-story, three-unit residential building at 66-99 Forest Avenue in Ridgewood, owned by Dzemale Garuc and constructed in 1930, has experienced several noteworthy patterns and events over recent years. The property faced a rodent sighting in July 2022, though an inspection conducted by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene found only minor violations, and subsequent rodent inspections in September 2022 and July 2022 both passed.

The building has shown consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent report from May 2025 indicating no infested, eradicated, or re-infested units during the previous reporting period (2023-2024). Historical records reveal a period of increased rodent control activity in 2012, with multiple instances of bait application between April and October of that year. The building has had some administrative compliance issues, including a violation in 2020 for failure to file the annual boiler inspection report for 2017, which was later dismissed with a penalty payment.

Notably, there have been four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations (2021-2024) related to the annual bedbug report filing requirement, though these appear to have been addressed in subsequent filings. A complaint regarding an allegedly illegal curb cut filed in 2019 was investigated in 2020 but found no violation at that time. The property has maintained generally good standing in recent years, with regular compliance to both bedbug reporting and rodent inspection requirements, and no reported incidents of ongoing pest infestations since 2020.
