92-18 52nd Avenue, Queens, NY 11373

The three-story residential building at 92-18 52nd Avenue in Elmhurst, owned by Christina Villafana, is a 2-family house constructed in 1965. The building's recent history shows some concerning patterns regarding maintenance and inspections.

In October 2018, there was a complaint filed regarding unsanitary conditions related to mold that was treated as an emergency under the Housing Maintenance Code; however, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development was unable to gain access for inspection, leading to the closure of this complaint without resolution. More recent interactions with city agencies have been primarily centered around the property’s curb cut/driveway area in May 2022, with two identical complaints filed in close succession, though inspections conducted in late May and June 2022 found no violations warranting action. The building has undergone several rodent inspections between 2015-2017, with mixed results.

A failed inspection in August 2017 raises questions about pest control during that period, though subsequent inspections in October 2017 and May 2015 resulted in passing grades. While the property appears to have had no complaints or violations reported in recent years up to 2023, the pattern of undetermined mold conditions in 2018 and the brief rodent issues from 2015-2017 suggest past maintenance challenges that prospective tenants should consider. The property’s records indicate improved compliance with city regulations, as evidenced by the absence of recent complaints or violations in the available data through 2023.
