60-66 Catalpa Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

The two-story, four-unit residential building at 60-66 Catalpa Avenue in Ridgewood, owned by Elvir Hadzibajramovic and constructed in 1908, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over the past few years. Most significantly, in July 2021, the building faced water leak problems and ceiling damage complaints that were classified as emergency situations but were subsequently resolved, with HPD verifying corrections.

The building has also had recurring compliance issues regarding bedbug reporting, with violations noted in 2021, 2022, and 2023 for failure to file the required annual reports - though recent records show no reported infestations for the period ending October 2023, with the record for the most recent filing period (November 2022 - October 2023) showing zero infested units and no instances of eradication or re-infestation. In July 2024, there was a complaint regarding work done without a permit on this occupied multiple dwelling, though the inspector was unable to gain access to verify the violation.

The building's historical maintenance record shows some positive notes, including passing a rodent inspection in June 2017, and in 2022 and 2023, there were no additional recorded violations of any class A categories beyond the bedbug report compliance issues. While the building is classified as "Heretofore Converted Class A," indicating that it may have undergone conversion from another use, it appears to comply with basic safety requirements as there have been no major safety-related incidents reported in recent years. The most recent documented complaints have been relatively minor in nature, primarily focusing on administrative compliance rather than emergency maintenance issues.
