60-39 Gates Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

The three-story, five-unit residential building at 60-39 Gates Avenue in Ridgewood, owned by Vincent Giambalvo, has maintained a concerning pattern of regulatory non-compliance over the past several years. Most notably, the building has accumulated four consecutive open violations from 2021 through 2024 related to the failure to submit the required annual bedbug reports to the Housing Maintenance Code (HMC).

These violations, which are classified as "A" level, indicate a potential pattern of neglect regarding this important tenant safety requirement, though it's worth noting that no bedbug infestations have been specifically reported in the violation records. Looking at the building's pest control history, there have been two successful rodent inspections in 2017 and 2012, each passing without incident, suggesting that while there have been issues with reporting requirements, the building has generally managed to maintain basic pest control standards in terms of rodent presence.

The building, constructed in 1930, falls under the New Law Tenement classification, a designation that typically indicates it was built before the 1930s and subject to specific regulatory requirements regarding maintenance and safety standards. While the repeated violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements are concerning, the absence of reported infestations or other significant health and safety violations in recent years is somewhat reassuring, though it may suggest more a pattern of administrative non-compliance than direct impact on resident quality of life.
