59-02 Myrtle Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

The three-story, two-family house at 59-02 Myrtle Avenue in Ridgewood, built in 1931 and currently owned by Jong Key Kim, has had several notable events recorded in public databases since 2012. The most recent incident occurred in August 2024, when the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene investigated a complaint regarding rodents, insects, or garbage associated with a food establishment, though the specific nature of the issue was not directly related to the residential building and has since been closed.

This followed a similar health department investigation from October 2018 regarding bare hands in contact with food, which was also closed after the issue was addressed. The building has maintained a consistent record regarding rodent inspections, successfully passing inspections in 2012 (twice) and 2017, suggesting good pest control practices.

A more serious concern was recorded in June 2021 when the Department of Buildings received a complaint about defective or exposed electrical wiring, though this was referred to the Department of Transportation during the inspection process and the specific outcome of that referral is not detailed in the records. While the building does show some history of health department involvement, particularly regarding food handling practices, it's important to note that these incidents appear to be more related to nearby commercial operations rather than the residential property itself, and all recorded complaints have been officially closed with no ongoing violations noted as of the current date.
