59-16 55th Street, Queens, NY 11378
The two-story, four-unit New Law Tenement building at 59-16 55th Street in Maspeth, currently owned by Michael Cantasano, has a mixed record of maintenance and compliance since its construction in 1931. The most recent heating system issue occurred in December 2022, though this was resolved promptly within two days.
Of greater concern are multiple open violations related to bedbug reporting requirements in 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021, indicating a pattern of non-compliance with this specific Housing Maintenance Code requirement. The building has persistent open violations from 2018 related to proper building notifications and safety requirements, including the need to post information about smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, gas leak procedures, and housing information guides in common areas, as well as requirements to remove household items from public halls.
While the building passed a rodent compliance inspection in 2017, it had previously failed an initial inspection that same year for unspecified reasons. The combination of ongoing bedbug report violations and multiple safety notification requirements suggests potential lapses in building management procedures, though many of these violations are administrative in nature rather than directly related to building safety or habitability.
