58-43 Penrod Street, Queens, NY 11368

The three-story, three-unit building at 58-43 Penrod Street in Corona, owned by Anthony Carollo and constructed in 1990, has experienced persistent pest-related issues over the past several years. Most recently, in August 2024, the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene found violations related to rodent conditions, while the property has undergone multiple rodent control interventions in early 2025, with bait applied consistently from January through February 2025, following prior documented rat activity in late 2024.

The building's history reveals recurring pest management challenges, with three unsanitary conditions complaints in August 2021 (including mold and pests) that were closed due to lack of access for inspection. The property has maintained regular compliance inspections and reporting requirements, including the annual bedbug report filings from 2021 through 2024, all indicating zero infested units in the most recent reports. Housing Maintenance Code violations were issued in 2021-2024 specifically regarding the requirement to file these annual bedbug reports, though these violations have since been closed.

The building's rodent issue appears to be the most pressing current concern, as evidenced by multiple inspections showing rat activity from 2012 through 2025, with the most recent inspections continuing to require bait application despite some passed compliance inspections in between. The property has demonstrated some improvements in pest management, having achieved zero reported bedbug infestations across multiple reporting periods, while still facing ongoing challenges with rodent control that necessitate regular bait applications and follow-up inspections. The consistent pattern of rodent-related inspections and interventions suggests this remains an ongoing maintenance focus for the building.
