61-26 Woodbine Street, Queens, NY 11385

The four-story, eight-unit apartment building at 61-26 Woodbine Street in Ridgewood, owned by Michael Guelly, has experienced recurring heating system issues over the past several years. Between 2018 and 2025, there have been six documented emergency complaints regarding lack of heat and hot water affecting the entire building, with the most recent incidents occurring in January 2025.

While these complaints were typically resolved quickly, with HPD confirming restoration of services in most cases, the frequency of these heating system failures suggests an ongoing maintenance challenge. The building had one Housing Maintenance Code violation in 2019 related to a defective self-closing door in apartment 4L, though this was certified as corrected by March 2019.

On a positive note, the building has maintained an excellent record regarding pest management, with all bedbug reports from 2018 through 2024 showing zero infested units, and a passed rodent inspection in 2017. The building's bedbug reporting history, maintained annually since 2018, consistently shows no infestation or eradication cases, indicating effective pest control measures. The property, built in 1930 and classified as a New Law Tenement, has demonstrated compliance with various housing regulations, though the recurring heating system issues remain a notable concern.
