68-11 60th Street, Queens, NY 11385

The two-family house at 68-11 60th Street in Ridgewood, owned by Calogero Terrasi, has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water over the past several years. Between 2018 and 2021, there were multiple heat/hot water complaints, with a particularly concerning cluster of three emergency complaints in November 2021 alone.

While most of these complaints were eventually resolved, several inspections in 2019 were hindered by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development's inability to gain access to the apartments for inspection. The building also had two notable violations identified during a December 2020 inspection of the 2nd floor apartment, including scalding hot water exceeding 130 degrees and the absence of carbon monoxide detection devices, though these violations were marked as closed. In addition to the heat-related issues, there was a pest complaint filed in January 2019, though access limitations prevented proper inspection.

It's worth noting that the building underwent an initial rodent inspection in June 2017, which passed. While the building dates back to 1910, it has received regular attention from housing authorities regarding these recurring issues, with most complaints being promptly addressed within a few days of reporting. The most recent documented complaints were all resolved within a month of being filed, indicating some level of responsiveness to tenant concerns.
