60-62 70th Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

The three-story, two-family house at 60-62 70th Avenue in Ridgewood, owned by Alexander Liguori and built in 1909, has experienced several concerning incidents in recent years, particularly in 2022. The property underwent multiple inspections in late 2022, revealing significant illegal modifications in the basement area, including an unauthorized kitchen with gas range and bathroom facilities (shower stall, wash basin, water closet, and residential sink).

These violations prompted both Housing Maintenance Code citations and Environmental Control Board violations, though records indicate these were resolved without penalty. In August 2022, the property had a rat sighting complaint that resulted in a Department of Health inspection, which passed with only minor violations noted. Prior to and following the 2022 events, the building's record shows completed rodent inspections in 2017 and August 2022, both of which passed.

Additionally, the property has been subject to two illegal conversion complaints in 2022, one in October and another in November, though the November complaint specifically referenced an address of "11385," which appears to be inconsistent with the building's actual address. A prior violation from September 2021 was dismissed in May 2023, though no specific details are provided in the records. Throughout these incidents, there is no record of any penalties being imposed, and the violation statuses indicate they have been resolved, though the 2022 illegal conversion issues raised serious concerns about the building's unauthorized modifications and occupancy conditions.
