66-61 60th Place, Queens, NY 11385

The three-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement building at 66-61 60th Place in Ridgewood, built in 1913 and currently owned by Malgorzata Staskiewicz, has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years, particularly concerning heat and hot water systems. The most recent incident occurred in December 2024, when HPD responded to a building-wide heat/hot water complaint, which was classified as an emergency but resulted in no access being gained to inspect the condition. This recurring pattern of heating system problems is documented through multiple complaints between 2018 and 2024, including clusters of complaints in March 2022 and November 2022, though many were resolved with reports of service restoration.

The building has also experienced some other maintenance issues, including a door/window complaint in July 2022 (which resulted in no violations) and previously reported sanitary concerns involving mold in 2018 and pests in 2020, both of which were investigated without any violations being issued. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs since 2018, with all bedbug reporting periods showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units. The most recent bedbug report from December 2024, covering the period from November 2023 to October 2024, confirmed no infestations.

Additionally, a rodent inspection conducted in May 2017 resulted in a passing grade. A notable recent violation was issued in December 2024 regarding a door self-closing mechanism at the front entrance (1st story), which had been modified with a kick-down door stopper. While the building has experienced several heating system interruptions, particularly during winter months, it is worth noting that many of these issues appear to have been resolved promptly, based on tenant reports of service restoration.
