60-16 Gates Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

The two-story, four-unit residential building at 60-16 Gates Avenue in Ridgewood, owned by Deborah Hoefferle, has maintained compliance with basic safety and health standards since its construction as a New Law Tenement in 1930. The building's most consistent regulatory pattern has been around bedbug reporting requirements, with the property receiving four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) violations between 2021 and 2024 for failing to file the mandatory annual bedbug reports.

However, these violations do not appear to indicate an ongoing infestation problem; the most recent report filed in May 2024 for the period ending October 2023 shows zero infested units, and the previous year's report documented three previously infested units that had been eradicated, with no re-infestations noted. The building has passed both rodent inspections conducted in 2017 and 2012, suggesting effective pest management in general.

The property's inspection history indicates active compliance monitoring by authorities, with the owner rectifying the bedbug reporting violations as evidenced by the recent bedbug reports. While the pattern of violations from 2021 to 2024 might suggest initial oversight regarding bedbug reporting, the subsequent filings demonstrate improved compliance. The building's age and history as a New Law Tenement are typical for the Ridgewood neighborhood, and the recent lack of reported infestations suggests the property is currently maintaining a satisfactory living environment in terms of pest control.
