60-89 71st Avenue, Queens, NY 11385
The 3-story, 3-unit New Law Tenement at 60-89 71st Avenue in Ridgewood, built in 1908 and currently owned by Chuan Chen, has faced recurring issues with heat and hot water, particularly in late 2023 when multiple complaints were filed regarding these utility services, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the problems. The building has experienced persistent pest issues, with three separate complaints about unsanitary conditions related to pests in December 2023, two of which were classified as non-emergency. While the building has maintained a record of zero bedbug infestations since 2022 according to official filings, there was a significant incident in 2019 when multiple illegal rooming units were discovered in the cellar apartment, leading to an Environmental Control Board violation for occupancy contrary to that allowed by the certificate of occupancy, with a $1,250 penalty.
Historical records show the building has had various maintenance issues, including a period without heat/hot water affecting the entire building in October 2018, electrical problems, and door/window maintenance needs. The property has also undergone several inspection attempts regarding potential illegal conversions between 2019-2023, though inspectors were unable to gain access on multiple occasions. The building's maintenance history shows some areas of concern for resident comfort and safety, particularly regarding consistent heat/hot water service and pest control.
However, it is worth noting that many complaints have been closed without violations being issued, often due to lack of access for inspection. The property has addressed multiple safety requirements over time, including posting necessary notices regarding smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and gas leak procedures as documented in violations from 2020. Most recently, permits were issued in September 2020 for unspecified work, and the building has passed rodent inspections, suggesting some level of proactive maintenance regarding common pest issues.
