60-18 Woodbine Street, Queens, NY 11385

The 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building at 60-18 Woodbine Street in Ridgewood, owned by Malgorzata Szczot (also known as Gzik), was constructed in 1911 and has shown some recurring maintenance issues in recent years. Most recently, in October 2023, there was a heat/hot water complaint that was promptly addressed and closed by HPD.

The building experienced significant health and safety violations in 2022, particularly in apartment 3F, where multiple issues were documented including defective self-closing doors, missing safety features such as peepholes, smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and a sealed shut secondary kitchen door, along with violations related to fire retardant plaster maintenance in the vestibule. These violations were all certified as corrected by April-June 2022. The building's maintenance history also includes pest control issues, with a December 2021 complaint about unsanitary conditions involving pests, though no violations were issued following inspection.

A bedbug infestation was recorded in late 2020 (2 infested units), though subsequent filings from 2021 through 2024 have reported no infestations or eradications. The property has passed rodent inspections conducted in 2017, suggesting effective pest management in this regard. The most recent bedbug reports for the periods ending in 2024 show no current infestations, and the most recent housing violation history indicates that most safety-related issues have been addressed, though the pattern of complaints suggests periodic maintenance challenges within the building.
