10-44 Wyckoff Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

The 24-unit, 4-story building at 10-44 Wyckoff Avenue in Ridgewood, owned by Robert Gully, was constructed in 1929 and has experienced several notable issues in recent years. Most concerning was a building-wide heat and hot water outage in November 2019, which generated multiple emergency complaints and required HPD intervention – though heat and hot water were reported as restored during the investigation.

The building has documented ongoing pest management challenges, with bedbug infestations reported in five consecutive annual filings from 2019 through 2024, showing a troubling pattern of re-infestations despite eradication efforts. A significant safety violation was recorded in November 2019 regarding a defective fire escape ladder at the west stack, though this was certified as corrected by late November 2019. The property has seen relatively few major incidents in recent years, with two illegal work complaints in 2020 and 2022 resulting in no violations being found upon inspection.

Multiple permits for plumbing and electrical work have been issued between 2018-2022, indicating regular maintenance and improvements to building systems. The most recent housing maintenance code violation recorded in April 2024 pertains to the late filing of the annual bedbug report, though this also demonstrates compliance with the city's reporting requirements as the issue was ultimately closed. Historical rodent inspections show improved conditions, with the most recent inspection in 2017 passing for compliance after an initial failure earlier that same year.
