61-36 Woodbine Street, Queens, NY 11385

61-36 Woodbine Street is a 4-story, 16-unit pre-war tenement building located in Ridgewood, built in 1930 and currently owned by Miriam Yavo. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past three years, with the most recent being a mold complaint in June 2024 and non-emergency complaints regarding walls and flooring in June 2025.

A notable cluster of violations was documented in 2024, primarily affecting apartment 2C on the second floor, including issues with the bathroom faucet, window hardware, smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector, and a pest infestation involving roaches, all of which were eventually certified as corrected. The building has also shown persistent issues with mold (previously reported in 2023 and 2022), water leaks, and various structural and maintenance problems including door and window malfunctions between 2022 and 2024.

Recent building records indicate two active violations regarding the failure to file external low-pressure inspections for 2020 and 2022, while a 2024 violation addressed the need for a properly installed inspection certificate near mailboxes in the first-floor public hall. The property has maintained a consistent record of not having bedbug infestations since at least 2019, and although there were multiple documented instances of rat activity during inspections between 2015-2019, these appear to be less frequent in recent years. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic upkeep and prompt resolution of violations, with several complaints requiring multiple inspections and follow-ups before being resolved.
