What do these labels mean?Where each of these comes from
- Tenant-reported
- A resident's firsthand account of living here, moderated before it publishes, and labelled with whether we verified they lived there.
- Official violation
- A city inspector visited and recorded a code violation. HPD's own words, and its own hazard class.
- Public complaint
- A complaint somebody made to a city system, through HPD or 311. A report, not a finding: nobody has necessarily inspected it.
- Public filing
- A permit, a registration, a bedbug report: a document the owner filed with the city because the law requires it.
- Court record
- A Housing Court case HPD brought against the owner, or an eviction a city marshal carried out. A court's record: a case is an allegation until it ends in a finding.
- Insufficient data
- Not enough current information here to infer a pattern either way.
Tenant reviews
Tenant-reportedNo tenant reviews yet. Lived here? Be the first.
Nothing above this section came from a tenant. It is all filed by the city, which means it only holds what somebody reported and an inspector wrote down, not what it is actually like to live here.
Not open yet. Reviews open when this neighbourhood does.
Heat season
No heat or hot-water complaints or violations were recorded here last winter (2025–26). That is the city's record: it only holds what somebody reported.
| Winter | DaysDays with complaints | Complaints | Violations |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025–26 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
The rules, 1 October to 31 May: from 6am to 10pm, when it is below 55°F outside, the apartment must be at least 68°F; overnight it must be at least 62°F whatever the weather. Hot water must be at least 120°F all year. A tenant without heat can report it to 311.
Rent stabilization
Public filingThe owner registered at least one rent-stabilized apartment here with the state for 2024. The list does not say which apartments, or how many.
Source: Rent Guidelines Board building list, from the state's 2024 registrations. To know about one apartment, a tenant can ask the state for its rent history through Ask HCR.
City violations
Official violationPaperwork and notices2 open
The owner failed to file something the city requires, most often the annual property registration or the annual bedbug report. Real violations, and they say something about an owner, but not a condition anyone is living in. Kept out of the count at the top of this page for that reason.
×2File annual bedbug report in accordance with hpd rule as described on the back of this notice of violation or as described on hpds website, www.nyc.gov\hpd, search bed bugs.

Closed means HPD recorded the violation as corrected, or dismissed it. Both appear here, because the difference matters and only HPD’s own status line says which it was.

Last twelve months / last three years. The solid part of each bar is the last twelve months.
Court records

Cases the city’s housing department (HPD) brought against the owner, usually to force repairs or restore heat. A case is an allegation; where the court recorded an outcome, it is shown.

Evictions
Residential evictions carried out by a city marshal since 2017. Most follow a case for unpaid rent, so a count here is not by itself a finding about the building or the landlord. We show how many, never which apartment.

Ownership and management
Public filingAssociations come from registration records and may be incomplete. Owners register with HPD once a year, so a change of hands can go unrecorded for a full cycle.
Registered with HPD, last filed 18 Aug 2025, but the registration names no owner or managing agent.
Wrong company, wrong date, or a change that is not reflected here? Report a correction.
What to ask at the viewing
60-64 Catalpa Avenue, Ridgewood, NY 11385
Drawn from this building’s record above. They are questions, not conclusions: the point is to find out, in the twenty minutes you get inside, what the public record cannot tell you.
- The city recorded 2 mould violations here, most recently in 2004, all since closed. Closed means the city stopped checking, not that the damp is gone. Ask to look behind furniture and under sinks, and ask what was done the last time; a repaint is not a repair.
- The owner has filed a bedbug report for this building (most recently for the year ending 2024). Ask when the building was last treated, how often an exterminator comes, and whether treatment covers the whole line of apartments or only the one that complained.
- The building's HPD registration is out of date or names nobody we could identify. Ask who the managing agent is and get a name, a phone number and an address in writing before you sign.
- Ask what the deposit is, exactly what can be deducted from it, and how and when it comes back.
- Ask who to call when something breaks, what happens after hours and at weekends, and how long a repair normally takes.
Ask for anything that matters in writing; an email after the viewing is enough. We are not your lawyer and this is not legal advice.
Questions about this building
No. HPD lists no open housing violations here. Paperwork filings, such as a late registration, are not counted.
Since 2022, HPD inspectors have written the most violations here for pests (1).
On 9 Mar 2022. HPD only publishes inspections that found something, so a later visit that found nothing would not show here.
The owner registered at least one rent-stabilized apartment here with the state for 2024. The list does not say which apartments. A tenant can ask the state for an apartment's rent history to be sure.
No heat or hot-water complaints or violations were recorded here in the 2025–26 heat season.
City marshals carried out 1 residential eviction here since 2017. The record says nothing about why, and most follow a case for unpaid rent.
Not yet. Reviews come from people who lived here, and none has been published for this building.
