72-01 51st Drive, Queens, NY 11377

The two-family residential building at 72-01 51st Drive in Maspeth, owned by Irena Zalot, has experienced ongoing challenges with compliance and maintenance requirements since 2021. Most notably, there has been a recurring failure to file the required annual bedbug reports, with four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations issued from 2021 to 2024, all of which remain open as of now.

The property has also faced recent issues related to unauthorized construction and occupancy violations in early 2024, specifically concerning an unpermitted carport structure and an illegal vehicle occupation, for which citations were issued with associated penalties of $250. These environmental control board violations, though carrying a relatively modest fine, indicate lapses in proper permitting and adherence to occupancy regulations.

A rodent inspection conducted in March 2010 showed compliance at that time, though this is now quite dated. The most recent building-related activity on record was a construction enforcement complaint in May 2025, which resulted in an oath violation being served. The persistent nature of the bedbug report violations over multiple years suggests ongoing challenges with meeting housing maintenance requirements, though these are administrative violations rather than directly related to physical building conditions or safety concerns.
