48-16 59th Street, Queens, NY 11377

The 3-unit, 3-story residential building at 48-16 59th Street in Maspeth, owned by Dayro Zapata, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years. Most recently, in December 2024, there was a heat and hot water complaint affecting the entire building, though HPD was unable to gain access for inspection. Throughout 2020, the building faced multiple challenges, including heat and hot water issues (both building-wide and apartment-specific), and unsanitary conditions related to mold, which resulted in violations.

A series of bedbug violation notices were issued between 2021-2024, though the most recent 2025 report indicates no current infestation or eradication issues. The property has also had several specific maintenance violations, particularly in Apartment 2, including problems with roach infestation, defective plastered surfaces, and broken bathroom paint, as well as an illegal double-cylinder lock on the building entrance. While many of these violations have been addressed and closed, some remain open, particularly those related to the apartment's interior conditions.

The building's documented history shows a pattern of heat and water issues, mold problems, and pest control challenges, suggesting ongoing maintenance concerns that may affect resident comfort. However, it's worth noting that the most recent documentation (2025) shows no current bedbug issues. The property underwent annual bedbug reporting requirements from 2021-2024, and while previous violations were noted for various building systems and apartments, recent inspections have shown some improvement, though certain maintenance issues remain on record as of the latest available data.
