779 Wyckoff Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

This five-story, 28-unit mixed-use building at 779 Wyckoff Avenue in Ridgewood, owned by Meyer Chetrit, has been experiencing recurring heat and hot water issues since late 2024, with multiple emergency complaints filed between December 2024 and March 2025. The most recent complaint was filed in April 2025, suggesting ongoing concerns about the building's heating system. The property has also faced significant sanitary challenges, particularly regarding mold, with multiple complaints filed between June and July 2024. These issues were documented in unit 5D, where violations were issued for both mold and damaged bathroom floor tiles.

The building's maintenance record shows water leak problems in unit 3F documented in September 2023, along with several housing maintenance code violations that were later addressed. Recent inspection records show that the building currently has active energy efficiency violations related to benchmarking and displaying energy scores, dating from May and December 2024. The property has maintained a clean record concerning bedbugs over the past four years, with no reported infestations in the last three reporting periods. While there were rodent-related complaints in late 2024, the building passed rodent inspections conducted in September 2024, July 2024, December 2023, and several previous years, indicating effective pest management. Two active Department of Buildings violations from 2019 are currently unresolved: one related to exterior electrical wiring and another regarding balcony maintenance.

The building's 311 service history shows multiple complaints about heat and hot water issues, especially during the winter months. Between June and July 2024, there was documented mold in multiple areas, with at least one violation issued. Recent repair records from 2024 show work was completed on the compactor closet door handle and various other maintenance issues. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections since 2017, all of which have passed, suggesting effective pest control measures are in place. While there have been various building maintenance issues reported through 311, many have been addressed promptly, though the recurring nature of the heat and water complaints suggests this remains an area of concern.
