56-37 Van Cleef Street, Queens, NY 11368

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 56-37 Van Cleef Street in Corona, owned by Robert Mozilo, has experienced multiple concerning issues over the past two years. Most significantly, there have been three separate complaints between July and October 2023 regarding illegal hotel room operations within the building.

Two of these complaints (October 2023) resulted in failed inspections due to the inspector's inability to gain access, while one (July 2023) was closed following a failed inspection in November 2023 where access was also denied. These allegations of unauthorized commercial activity in the residential building raise serious concerns about proper use and safety regulations.

Additionally, there is a concerning pattern of rodent-related issues in the building's history, with inspections in 2012 showing a failed initial inspection for "Other Reasons" in May, followed by a successful compliance inspection in September of the same year. While these rodent problems pre-date the current ownership period by more than a decade, they add to the building's concerning sanitation history. It's worth noting that the building was constructed in 1972 and is classified as "HEREAFTER ERECTED CLASS A" by NYC building codes, though the current state of the property suggests potential management challenges.
