67-21 Forest Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

67-21 Forest Avenue is a two-story, four-unit residential building located in Ridgewood, Queens, owned by Joseph Navarino and constructed in 1930 as a New Law Tenement. The building's records reveal a concerning history of pest-related issues, with multiple violations for unsanitary conditions including pests in September 2020, and an ongoing pattern of failures to file mandatory annual bedbug reports from 2021 through 2024, all classified as Class A violations.

Significant maintenance issues were documented in September 2020, particularly affecting the first-floor apartment (1FR), including illegal double cylinder locking devices, a rodent infestation, peeling paint, flooring problems, and an emergency flooring issue that required inspection. The building's inspection history shows a rodent-related violation from September 2020 that remains open as of October 2023, despite an earlier passed inspection in June 2017.

Other outstanding violations include a 2020 notice requiring repair of defective wood flooring around a radiator and another for self-closing door issues, suggesting ongoing maintenance challenges. While some violations have been resolved, such as the 2020-09-09 violations related to infestation and improper locks, the pattern of open violations, particularly regarding pest control and maintenance compliance, indicates persistent challenges in maintaining the building to acceptable housing standards.
