73-24 53rd Road, Queens, NY 11378

The three-story residential building at 73-24 53rd Road in Maspeth, owned by Dariusz Tomczyk and constructed in 1988, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues over the past two years. Most notably, in late 2023, there was a water leak complaint that HPD couldn't investigate due to lack of access.

Earlier in 2023, there were multiple serious complaints filed simultaneously in January regarding heat/hot water, mold, pest issues, and ceiling paint/plaster problems, all of which were classified as either emergency or non-emergency situations, though HPD was again unable to gain access for inspections. Three consecutive annual violations were recorded between 2021 and 2023 for failing to file the mandatory bedbug report, though the most recent bedbug filings from 2022 through May 2025 indicate no infestations, with 0 units reported as infested, eradicated, or re-infested. An unrelated complaint regarding illegal commercial use in a residential zone was filed in late 2020 but was closed in early 2021 after inspectors were unable to gain access.

The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of access issues during inspections, as evidenced by multiple complaints where HPD could not enter the premises to assess the reported problems. While the property has not had any recorded bedbug infestations since 2020, the delayed filing of bedbug reports in 2021-2023 suggests some administrative oversight. The three-story, three-unit structure, now under new bedbug reporting requirements, shows no current infestations as of the latest May 2025 filing.
