68-25 60th Street, Queens, NY 11385

The two-story, four-unit residential building at 68-25 60th Street in Ridgewood, managed by owner Zelko Ivkovic, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in May 2021. During this period, multiple violations were documented across various systems, including electrical outlets/switches, plumbing (basin/sink and bathtub/shower), ceiling paint/plaster, flooring, and pest control.

A more recent set of violations is particularly concerning, with open citations from 2023 and 2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required under the Housing Maintenance Code. Apartment 1B appears to have been the most affected unit, with documented issues including a broken window sash glass pane, defective sink base cabinet, problematic self-closing doors, non-functional carbon monoxide detecting devices, damaged ceramic floor tiles in the bathroom, faulty electrical outlet, and leaky bathroom sink faucets. The building's maintenance history shows some improvements, as certain earlier violations have been resolved, including 2019 complaints about unsanitary conditions and pests.

A rodent inspection from March 2023 passed, which is a positive sign regarding current pest conditions. The property has maintained a consistent record of 311 service requests and housing maintenance code complaints, though many of these issues remain unresolved or have resulted in new violations. The most recent building inspections from 2023 and 2024 have revealed ongoing compliance issues, particularly regarding bedbug reporting requirements, though these are classified as "Class A" violations, which typically indicates less immediate danger to residents compared to "Class C" violations.
