29-22 Curtis Street, Queens, NY 11369

The two-family house located at 29-22 Curtis Street in East Elmhurst, owned by Mesias Arias, is a two-story residential building constructed in 1920 that contains three units. The most significant recent incident affecting this property occurred in mid-2021, when the Department of Buildings initiated enforcement actions related to unauthorized construction work.

On April 23, 2021, two construction enforcement complaints (numbers 4842901 and 4842900) were filed, with one resulting in an Oath Violation being served. During a subsequent inspection on July 13, 2021, inspectors noted that they were unable to gain access to the property on their second final attempt.

However, a more serious violation was documented the same day, when inspectors observed unpermitted construction work involving extended dormers and roof structures, along with the installation of three windows at the third-floor level, for which no Department of Buildings permits could be found. This violation, recorded under ECB violation number 39044339R, carries an active status with an imposed penalty of $1,250, though the balance due is listed as $0. This pattern of unauthorized construction work and compliance issues suggests potential concerns regarding building safety and regulatory adherence, though it's worth noting that these violations are now over two years old and their current status as of July 2025 is not immediately clear from the available data.
