50-42 69th Street, Queens, NY 11377

The three-unit residential building at 50-42 69th Street in Maspeth, owned by Silvia Portacio and constructed in 1980, has experienced significant maintenance issues throughout 2023, particularly during February and March. The most pressing concerns involved multiple reports of water-related problems, with three separate complaints about heavy flow water leaks and one about a damp spot, resulting in violations being issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) in March 2023.

Additional health and safety concerns arose during the same period, including multiple reports of mold, which were classified as emergency unsanitary conditions and also resulted in violations. The building experienced various maintenance issues during this period, including problems with door frames and window panes, though inspections of these specific complaints either found no violations or the inspectors were unable to gain access.

Notably, there has been no recorded bedbug activity in the building for the reporting period from November 2022 to October 2023, with all units indicating zero infestations, eradications, or re-infestations as of the latest report in May 2024. While the building successfully navigated the bedbug reporting requirements with no confirmed cases, the pattern of water-related and mold issues throughout early 2023 suggests ongoing moisture management challenges.
