72-04 Forest Avenue, Queens, NY 11385
The three-story, five-unit building at 72-04 Forest Avenue in Ridgewood, currently owned by Daniel Gefen, has experienced several significant issues in recent years. Most notably, there appears to be an ongoing rodent infestation, with multiple bait applications recorded between November 2023 and August 2024, suggesting persistent vermin control efforts are required.
The building has also faced challenges with food safety compliance, evidenced by three Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) complaints between 2019 and 2024, including a recent food temperature complaint from June 2024 and a food contamination issue from 2019, though the 2024 complaint was closed following inspection. In terms of regulatory compliance, the building has received two bedbug reporting violations in 2021 and 2023 for failing to file annual reports, though subsequent filings from 2024 show no confirmed infestations during the reporting periods. Additionally, there is an active violation from June 2023 regarding the failure to file 2021 external low-pressure inspection documents, which remains unresolved as of August 2025.
The building's bedbug reporting history from 2019 through 2024 shows consistent filing with zero reported infestations or eradications during these periods, suggesting proper management of this particular issue. While the property has passed several inspections without violations, including a DOHMH inspection for a rodent complaint in December 2022, the repeated need for bait applications from 2023 through 2024 indicates ongoing pest control challenges. The exterior low-pressure inspection violation, while not directly impacting resident comfort, represents a regulatory compliance issue that remains unresolved as of the current date.
