61-16 Woodbine Street, Queens, NY 11385

As of October 2024, 61-16 Woodbine Street in Ridgewood is experiencing multiple ongoing maintenance issues that require attention. The 12-unit, 4-story building built in 1930 has accumulated an open heat and hot water complaint, along with several housing maintenance code violations from an October 2024 inspection.

These violations include issues with carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and an inadequate hot water supply in apartment 4RF, as well as problems with the building's intercom system, illegal locks on fire escape doors, and defective tiles in the vestibule. The building's systems have shown recurrent problems in recent months, with multiple 311 service requests and housing maintenance code complaints in October 2024 focusing on plumbing (particularly radiators and water supply), electrical systems, and building security features such as the intercom system.

The property has a history of maintenance challenges, as evidenced by Department of Buildings violations related to low-pressure inspections in 2023, though one of these was dismissed. However, it's worth noting that there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past six reporting periods (2019-2025), and rodent inspections in 2017 and 2018 showed passing results. While the building's current violations and complaints suggest ongoing maintenance issues, the absence of bedbug reports and successful rodent inspections indicate particular concerns are being addressed, though often with delays as evidenced by multiple violation categories remaining open as of early 2025.
