61-18 Metropolitan Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

The two-story, three-unit residential building at 61-18 Metropolitan Avenue in Ridgewood, owned by Anthony Buttner, has maintained a positive record regarding pest management and building maintenance compliance since 2021, which is particularly noteworthy given its history of bedbug reporting violations. The building, constructed in 1935, has undergone proper bedbug reporting procedures over the past four years, with the most recent report from May 2024 showing no infested, eradicated, or re-infested units between November 2022 and October 2023. These annual reports have been consistently filed on time, following similar patterns documenting zero infestation issues in the previous three years.

The property has also successfully passed rodent inspections in 2012 and 2017, though the most recent rodent inspection record is now several years old. The building's history shows a pattern of receiving bedbug report violations from 2021 to 2024, with four consecutive violations for failing to file the required annual bedbug report between 2021 and 2024, before successfully filing reports in subsequent years. However, these violations appear to have been resolved promptly, as indicated by the current closed status of these violations.

The property has maintained compliance with Housing Maintenance Code requirements since 2021, with no new violations recorded in the past two years. The consistent pattern of filing bedbug reports with zero infestations in recent years suggests active management of pest control requirements. The building's age and historical rodent inspection results indicate typical urban building maintenance challenges, though successful passing of these inspections demonstrates proper attention to structural maintenance and pest management protocols.
