60-57 71st Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

The three-story, three-unit tenement at 60-57 71st Avenue in Ridgewood, owned by Samuel Stein and built in 1908, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, in December 2019, the building faced multiple emergency heat and hot water complaints that required HPD intervention, though heat and hot water were reportedly restored during the investigation.

The building also experienced an electrical power outage and unsanitary garbage/recycling storage issues in June 2019, both of which were investigated by HPD without resulting violations. More recently, while bedbug infestations have not been reported in any of the annual filings from 2022 to 2025, the building remains subject to multiple open violations from a December 2019 inspection, primarily related to required safety postings in the public areas.

These violations include requirements for carbon monoxide detector notices, heating system key access information, gas leak procedures, building registration information, and smoke detector requirements. The building has maintained a consistent record of compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2020, with no recorded infestations or eradications during this period. Additionally, rodent inspections in 2017 and 2019 show passing results, though there was a failure noted in February 2019 for "Other Reasons."
