60-78 70th Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

The three-unit, three-story building at 60-78 70th Avenue in Ridgewood, owned by Miroslaw Borowski, has undergone several significant maintenance events in recent years, most notably in early 2020. During this period, multiple complaints were filed regarding paint and plaster issues, particularly focusing on the ground-floor apartment, which was found to have multiple violations including lead-based paint hazards, peeling surfaces, and defective plastered areas.

The Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) issued several Notice of Violations (NOVs) on February 21, 2020, covering various deficiencies that required correction, including problems with door frames, wall surfaces, and the need for repairs to ensure safety compliance. There was also a safety-related violation concerning the fire escape documented in early 2020 that required rust removal and painting. More recent records indicate improved conditions, with no new major violations since 2020.

The building has maintained a successful track record in pest management, with annual bedbug reports from 2020 through 2023 showing zero infested units in each reporting period. The most recent rodent inspection from July 2017 passed successfully, and a plumbing permit was issued in July 2019 with no noted issues in subsequent years. The absence of recent complaints or violations related to paint, safety systems, or pest management suggests that the building has been adequately maintained since the significant issues were addressed in 2020.
