61-52 Madison Street, Queens, NY 11385

The 8-unit, 4-story building at 61-52 Madison Street in Ridgewood, owned by Enver Suljovic, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly regarding heating systems. Most notably, there have been three heat/hot water complaints in 2023-2024, including two emergencies in October 2023 and November 2024, though inspection access was not granted in the latter case.

The building has also faced multiple safety and maintenance concerns, particularly in early 2023, with complaints regarding carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, flooring, doors, and windows, though inspections often resulted in no violations being issued. Most recently, in November 2024, two violations were documented for apartment 2L, including a defective smoke detector and issues with self-closing doors.

The property has maintained a clean record regarding pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations across multiple annual filings from 2019 through 2024, and passed rodent inspections in 2015, despite an initial failure for other reasons earlier that same year. While the building has generally addressed maintenance issues when cited, with most complaints resulting in no violations or being marked as closed, there are open violations as of November 2024 that require attention. The property has a history typical of vintage New York tenements, with recurring issues related to building systems and safety equipment, though the absence of bedbug and serious pest issues is a positive note for potential residents.
