60-68 71st Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

This three-story, six-unit tenement building at 60-68 71st Avenue in Ridgewood, built in 1915, has had several significant maintenance issues in recent years. A comprehensive inspection in June 2022 revealed multiple violations, including four Class A violations related to inadequate signage regarding gas leak procedures, building registration information, and housing information guides in the public hall.

More concerning were the Class C violations involving defective self-closing doors at various entrances, including the main entrance and vestibule hall, affecting multiple stories as well as an issue with a missing baluster on the stairs leading to the roof from the third story. Though these violations were marked as closed, the building's safety features during this period required attention. The building has shown good pest control management over the past several years, with no reported bedbug infestations in any of the eight consecutive annual reports from 2020 through 2024.

A rodent inspection conducted in July 2017 passed successfully. The property has undergone some renovation work as evidenced by multiple plumbing (PL) and general work (EW) permits issued in early 2019, though specific details about the nature of these improvements are not provided in the data. The most recent inspection data available (up to October 2023) shows no new violations or pest issues reported, indicating an improvement in maintenance compliance since the 2022 violations.
