92-29 55th Avenue, Queens, NY 11373

The three-story, three-unit building at 92-29 55th Avenue in Elmhurst, owned by Brenda Caldas and built in 1989, has experienced several concerning issues over recent years, particularly during late 2022 and early 2023. In December 2022 and January 2023, there were multiple emergency complaints and violations related to critical systems, including multiple plumbing issues with toilets, heat and hot water problems, and unsanitary conditions involving pests.

Notably, Apartment 3 experienced significant maintenance challenges, including violations for pest infestations (mice and roaches), bathroom obstructions, door issues, and window guard problems between December 2022 and March 2023. More recent violations from 2024 include problems with smoke detector notices and building entrance doors. The building's maintenance history shows some improvements, with bedbug reports consistently showing no infestations from 2022 to 2024, and the Department of Buildings issuing several permits for plumbing work, most recently in June 2025.

However, there remains an open question about the current state of building systems, as there were multiple HPD inspections in January 2023 that resulted in violations, though many complaints were eventually closed. A rodent inspection in 2021 failed, though there was a passed inspection in 2015. The property has undergone various plumbing-related work as evidenced by multiple permit issuances between 2019 and 2025, suggesting ongoing maintenance efforts, but the frequency of complaints and violations in early 2023 indicates that some building systems have required significant attention.
