61-43 Woodbine Street, Queens, NY 11385
The 4-story, 8-unit residential building at 61-43 Woodbine Street in Ridgewood, managed by owner Kornel Ljuba, has encountered several recurring maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water complaints in late 2024 and early 2025, including a recent emergency response in January 2025 regarding no heat or hot water throughout the entire building. The property has also faced persistent pest issues, with multiple violations documented between July and December 2024, including a significant infestation reported in December 2024.
A December 2024 inspection of apartment 4R revealed several concerning violations, including lead paint hazards, pest infestation, paint and plaster damage, missing window guards, and defective safety devices, though some violations were subsequently closed. The building's maintenance record shows ongoing concerns with building infrastructure, as evidenced by multiple Department of Buildings complaints regarding illegal conversions, work without permits, and a defective boiler in 2022-2024. Recent ECB violations from 2024 show active penalties related to construction materials and improper conditions around AC units.
Additionally, there are several active ECB violations from 2022-2024 related to building maintenance, including issues with walls, construction debris blocking access, and boiler-related deficiencies. While the building has had no reported bedbug infestations in the last five years and passed a rodent inspection in 2017, the frequent heat/hot water issues and ongoing pest problems suggest significant maintenance challenges. The property has an active ECB violation regarding construction materials from January 2024 with a penalty of $3,125, and appears to still have unresolved maintenance issues as of the most recent inspections.
