68-27 Forest Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

The two-story, four-unit residential building at 68-27 Forest Avenue in Ridgewood, owned by Rosetta Pizzitola and built in 1930, has experienced several maintenance issues over recent years. The property has been subject to multiple HPD complaints, with clusters of problems noted in both 2021 and 2022.

In October 2021, tenants reported issues including mold, pest infestations, and flooring concerns, though no violations were found upon inspection. A more serious cluster of complaints emerged in March 2022, involving emergency plumbing problems with bathtubs/showers and toilets, as well as pest issues; while these complaints were closed, the resolution description indicated that some conditions remained open and may have required further verification or inspection. The building's record shows a pattern of requiring bedbug reports, with violations noted between 2021 and 2024 for failing to file the required documentation under § HMC.

However, the most recent bedbug report for the period November 2022 to October 2023 (filed in May 2024) indicates no infestations, eradications, or re-infestations. The property has maintained compliance with rodent inspections, having passed an initial inspection in June 2017, and there have been no recorded rodent complaints since then. While many of the past issues have been addressed and closed, the history suggests attention to building maintenance and timely reporting has been variable over the years.
