A small Ridgewood six-family under recent ownership where common-area condition issues and neighborhood air-quality complaints shape the record.
A six-unit Ridgewood walk-up built in 1931 that traded for $900,000 in June 2026 under head officer Francesco Scarpa. Three things to know:
Shared areas have drawn recent complaints that remain open. Six unsanitary condition calls were logged between October 2025 and June 2026. Three June 2026 calls specifically flagged common areas — including the entrance and building-wide space — and remain unresolved.
Surrounding air quality calls suggest localized odor and venting friction. Five indoor air quality complaints were recorded within three blocks over the last year, with the most recent filed September 16, 2026. These air quality and odor signals usually point to lower-level venting or HVAC riser bleed that reaches living spaces.
Blocked sidewalks and driveways dominate the immediate streetscape. 106 illegal parking complaints and 44 blocked driveway calls were filed within three blocks over the past year. The parking calls are heavily driven by blocked sidewalks (50 calls), pointing to active curb and sidewalk congestion right nearby.
