61-15 Woodbine Street, Queens, NY 11385

The 8-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement at 61-15 Woodbine Street in Ridgewood, owned by David Ukosata, has experienced recurring heating system issues over the past two years, with four documented complaints about heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building between late 2023 and early 2025. The most recent incident occurred in January 2025. Additionally, there was a mold-related issue reported in June 2024, and inspections have revealed several maintenance violations in recent years.

Most notably, in June 2024, violations were issued regarding a broken door latch and self-closing door mechanism in apartment 2LR, as well as mold presence in the same unit's bathroom ceiling. There is also an active violation from June 2023 concerning the failure to file the 2021 external low pressure inspection report. The building has maintained an active bedbug reporting record since 2020, consistently reporting zero infested units in all annual filings.

This includes the most recent filing for 2025, which shows no incidents of infestation. Rodent inspections show mixed results, with a successful compliance inspection in 2017 following two failed inspections in December 2014. Other historical complaints have included various maintenance issues such as plumbing problems, window guard safety concerns, water leaks, and appliance malfunctioning, though many of these complaints have been resolved without violations being issued. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with heating systems and periodic issues with water-related problems, though significant violations are relatively infrequent, with recent inspections showing more attention to administrative compliance matters such as bedbug reporting requirements and building maintenance codes.
