66-39 Fresh Pond Road, Queens, NY 11385

66-39 Fresh Pond Road is a 6-unit, 4-story New Law tenement building located in Ridgewood, New York, constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Gaetano Barone. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent being a boiler inspection in April 2025 that was unable to be completed due to access issues. A significant cluster of violations was documented in August 2022, primarily related to fire safety, including multiple instances of defective self-closing doors in the cellar and issues with fire-retardant materials in critical areas such as the electrical meter room and stairways.

Earlier maintenance concerns included a 2020 ceiling repair issue that affected a unit in the 4th story, and the building has had three documented instances of requiring bedbug reports between 2020 and 2022, though these were all marked as having zero infested or eradicated units. The property has maintained regular bedbug reporting with no infestations reported in the past three years (2022-2025), and rodent inspections have shown compliance, with the most recent inspection in 2017 passing. The building's history shows a mix of addressed and ongoing maintenance issues, particularly regarding building codes and safety requirements.

The most recent violations as of 2025 indicate continued attention needed for building systems such as the boiler, while the comprehensive reporting on bedbugs and rodent inspections suggests improved pest management practices since 2020. The property has had no documented food establishment violations since 2019, and previous paint/plaster issues appear to have been resolved. Regular maintenance and prompt attention to violations have been noted, though accessibility issues during the most recent boiler inspection may require follow-up. The building's age and classification as a New Law tenement are consistent with its historical context.
