51-27 72nd Place, Queens, NY 11377

The two-story, three-unit residential building at 51-27 72nd Place in Maspeth, owned by Consuelo Montano, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues over the past several years, with the most recent cluster of complaints occurring in October 2024. Recent inspections revealed ongoing problems, including an open Class C violation for a mouse infestation in the first-floor apartment (1STFLO) and a broken wooden floor in the foyer requiring repairs. The building has consistently failed to submit its mandatory annual bedbug reports between 2021 and 2024, resulting in multiple open Class A violations related to this requirement.

October 2024 also saw complaints regarding indoor air quality, wall and ceiling conditions, and pest-related issues, with some violations being issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). Notably, while recent HPD inspections in October 2024 found violations related to pests, the ventilation and paint/plaster complaints were ultimately closed with no housing law violations cited. The building's maintenance history indicates recurring issues with both pests and general upkeep, particularly concerning the requirement to file annual bedbug reports, which has not been complied with for four consecutive years.

The ongoing pest control violations, including the most recent mouse infestation issue, suggest persistent challenges with maintaining sanitary conditions. While some recent complaints have been resolved or closed without violations, the pattern of violations and failure to address bedbug reporting requirements indicates ongoing maintenance challenges within the building. The property, built in 1940 and now classified as a converted Class A building, has been subject to regular inspections and complaints that highlight various maintenance concerns, with particular attention needed to address pest-related violations and the annual bedbug report compliance requirement.
