60-58 Catalpa Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

The 6-unit building at 60-58 Catalpa Avenue in Ridgewood, owned by Gaspare Tumminello, has a significant record of housing maintenance code violations from 2021 that warrant attention. The most concerning cluster of violations occurred in March 2021 within apartment 3L, including missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors near sleeping areas, a water leak in the kitchen, and various other safety and maintenance issues, some of which remain open as of the latest data.

These violations included problems with emergency egress access and the need for repairs to plaster surfaces and paint. The building has also experienced issues with self-closing doors (in both apartments 1L and 3L) and a problematic secondary egress door lock in apartment 1L. Two complaints were filed in March 2021 regarding work without permits and plumbing work, though access was denied to inspectors in both cases.

More positively, the building has demonstrated good pest management practices over recent years, with no reported bedbug infestations across all dwelling units in the past five reporting periods from 2020-2025. Historical records show that rodent inspections in 2017 resulted in a passing grade, and the building's overall maintenance record appears stable since the cluster of violations in 2021, with no new violations reported in recent years. However, the presence of open violations from 2021 suggests that some safety and maintenance issues may persist.
