60-98 69th Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

The two-family residence at 60-98 69th Avenue in Ridgewood, owned by Salvatore Rando, has experienced several noteworthy events since its construction in 1931. Most recently, between October 2024 and July 2025, the building has undergone multiple rodent inspections, with four separate bait applications in late 2024 following three consecutive inspections indicating rat activity between June and October 2024, suggesting an ongoing rodent control issue that requires monitoring.

The building has maintained a clean bedbug record over the past four reporting periods from 2021 through 2025, with no reported infestations or eradication efforts necessary in any of the two-unit dwelling checks. A notable incident occurred in August 2021 when a complaint regarding an illegal conversion was filed with the Department of Buildings, though inspectors were unable to gain access during their final inspection attempt in February 2022, resulting in a closed complaint status.

Prior to the recent rodent issues, the property had only one reported violation on record, dating back to 2017, which resulted in a passing compliance inspection. The building's documented history suggests that while pest control has emerged as a significant concern in recent years, particularly regarding rodent activity, the property has demonstrated effective management of bedbug prevention and has maintained good standing in terms of major building violations since 2021, with no documented illegal conversions confirmed through inspection access denial.
