71-08 Fresh Pond Road, Queens, NY 11385

This 2-family residence at 71-08 Fresh Pond Road in Ridgewood, owned by Esteban Kaczurak, has experienced several notable incidents over recent years. Of particular concern are two active violations issued in 2023 for failing to file mandatory external low-pressure inspection reports for both 2018 and 2022, representing a potential safety compliance issue regarding the building's pressure systems.

The property has a documented history of inspection complaints in 2025, with three separate complaints - two in March and one in April - all of which were inspected promptly and found to warrant no violations, though one of these complaints involved allegedly defective or exposed electrical wiring that remained marked as "In Progress" as of May 2025. Additionally, there was a violation issued in November 2019 for failure to file the 2017 boiler inspection report, though this was dismissed in March 2020 with penalties of $1,000 being paid.

The building's mechanical systems and safety compliance have been under scrutiny, particularly regarding pressure systems and electrical wiring. A rodent inspection conducted in July 2017 resulted in a passing grade, and there appears to be an active building permit from August 2018 related to plumbing work (job number 410141537). While the recent inspection complaints have shown prompt response times from the Department of Buildings, the pattern of inspection-related violations and the recent electrical wiring complaint suggest ongoing maintenance and compliance monitoring may be necessary.
