60-60 70th Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

The three-story, three-unit building at 60-60 70th Avenue in Ridgewood, owned by Anthony Romanelli, has experienced several notable issues since 2019 that warrant attention. Most significantly, there are multiple open violations from March 2019 related to Apartment 1FL, including problems with window guards, a cockroach infestation, and deficiencies in smoke and carbon monoxide detectors that while being addressed, suggest past safety concerns.

The building has required three inspections as part of Local Law 188/17 compliance in 2023-2024, with inspectors unable to gain access on two occasions in 2023-2024, indicating potential ongoing compliance challenges. The property has maintained an active bedbug prevention program, with recent filings (2022-2024) showing zero infested units, and has passed multiple rodent inspections between 2012-2017, suggesting some consistency in pest management when compared to the earlier cockroach issues. The building has faced various regulatory requirements that needed attention, including the need to post various safety notices (gas leak procedures, housing information guide) and maintain self-closing entrance doors, all of which were properly addressed by mid-2019.

Annual bedbug reporting compliance has been documented for multiple years, showing proper maintenance of this requirement. While recent bedbug reports show no infestations, the building's history from 2019 suggests past pest management challenges. The property, built in 1909, has undergone typical historical transitions from Class A to "HERETOFORE CONVERTED" status, which reflects its long-standing residential use despite its age.
