Augrented Insights Report for 68-41 Forest Avenue

This three-story, four-unit residential building at 68-41 Forest Avenue in Ridgewood, owned by Roger Vecchio, has experienced several recurring issues since records began. Most notably, there have been multiple reports of pest-related problems, with the most recent complaint filed in February 2023, though inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) found no violations in these cases.

The building has notable safety and maintenance concerns documented between 2021-2024, including violations related to door safety features. In December 2023, a violation was issued for an illegally installed self-lockable panic bar at the bulkhead door to the roof, and in October 2023, there was a violation regarding defective self-closing doors in the entrance to apartment 3L.

The building's history shows consistent compliance issues with Bedbug Reporting requirements, with violations documented in multiple years, though recent filings for 2023-2024 indicate no infested units. While a plumbing complaint attempted in August 2024 could not be inspected, and there were some issues with unauthorized signage in 2021 that resulted in a $1,250 violation, these were not directly related to building safety or resident comfort. The most recent records show improved compliance with bedbug reporting requirements and no active violations as of 2025, though a significant number of historical violations have been documented through various city agencies.
