60-55 70th Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

The three-story, six-unit building at 60-55 70th Avenue in Ridgewood, owned by Rosa Frisina, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, particularly relating to heat and hot water supply. Most recently, in January 2023, multiple complaints about electrical problems (lighting and no lighting issues) and water leaks were reported, though HPD was unable to gain access to inspect these conditions. The building has also faced several heating system complaints, with the most recent in January 2023 being categorized as affecting the entire building.

In late 2022, there were issues with mold and garbage/recycling storage, though no violations were issued for the mold complaint. The building's history also shows some infrastructure concerns, including documented water leak issues in apartment 2R as of 2020. The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2020 through 2024, showing no infestations or re-infestations during these periods.

Previous Housing Maintenance Code violations primarily related to administrative matters such as bedbug reporting and building signage, along with some sanitation issues in 2021 regarding public hall cleanliness. Two complaints regarding building stability and egress were filed in August 2021 but were found to warrant no violations upon inspection. While the building has passed recent rodent inspections, with the last being conducted in August 2017, there was one failure noted in July 2017 for unspecified reasons. The frequency and pattern of heating-related complaints, particularly during winter months, suggest ongoing HVAC system challenges, though many complaints were closed due to lack of access during inspections.
