59-28 Norman Street, Queens, NY 11385

59-28 Norman Street is a 2-story, 4-unit residential building located in Ridgewood, NY, built in 1930 and currently owned by Jasmina Vrbic. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent cluster of complaints occurring in May 2023, including concerns about water leaks, window frame issues, ceiling problems, and mold. These complaints were categorized as emergencies but were closed without violations.

The property has a documented history of water-related issues, with multiple heavy flow water leak complaints recorded in both 2022 and 2023. Additionally, there have been concerns about flooring conditions, heating systems, and garbage storage, with violations specifically noted for flooring issues in September 2022. The building underwent a comprehensive inspection on May 5, 2023, which resulted in multiple violations, particularly affecting the basement apartment (Apt BaseMe).

These violations included issues with fire safety systems (smoke and carbon monoxide detectors), water leaks, mold, and problems with plaster surfaces that required repair and proper painting. Notably, the building is now reporting no current bedbug infestations, with the most recent bedbug report from May 2025 showing zero infested units for the 2023-2024 period. Historical records indicate successful rodent inspections in 2012 and 2017, both passing. While many recent complaints have been resolved, the frequency and nature of the maintenance issues suggest ongoing challenges with building upkeep, particularly regarding water management and interior maintenance.
