71-13 60th Lane, Queens, NY 11385

The five-story, 55-unit building at 71-13 60th Lane in Ridgewood, owned by Luis Carchi, has been in operation since 1930 and has undergone various maintenance and compliance challenges over the past several years. The most recent plumbing issue, involving a bathtub/shower problem, was reported in November 2024 and remains in resolution status as of March 2025. The building experienced a heat and hot water emergency in January 2021, though conditions were reportedly restored shortly thereafter.

In 2022, the property received citations for missing signage related to housing information, gas leak procedures, smoke detector requirements, and carbon monoxide detector requirements, though these violations were subsequently addressed and certified as corrected by June 2022. The Department of Buildings conducted inspections in 2023 regarding complaints about parking lot lights shining on the building, but found no violations in both July and August inspections. Earlier violations from 2018 and 2019 were resolved, with the 2019 violation being dismissed based on corrected defects. The building's bedbug infestation records show periodic monitoring from 2019 to 2025, with only one documented case in 2019, all other periods showing zero cases.

Rodent inspections indicate varied results, with a passing score in July 2017 and failed inspections in March and April 2013. The building has maintained relatively consistent compliance with housing maintenance codes since 2019, with no recent major violations or safety concerns noted. However, the persistent issues with plumbing, heating, and earlier signage violations suggest ongoing maintenance challenges that have required regular attention. The absence of bedbug and current pest complaints in recent filings indicates some success in infestation management, though the irregular rodent inspection results from 2013 and 2017 suggest this has been an area requiring monitoring.
