58-89 54th Street, Queens, NY 11378

The 2-story, 4-unit residential building at 58-89 54th Street in Maspeth, owned by Raanan Laufer, has a mixed maintenance record since its 1931 construction as a New Law Tenement. The most significant recent issues occurred in late 2022, when multiple 311 complaints were filed regarding intercom systems, wall conditions, and pest problems, though inspectors were often unable to access the premises to verify these issues.

The building has experienced ongoing pest management challenges, with several complaints about rodent sightings and sanitation concerns between 2021-2022, including a documented rat infestation in March 2022 that required HPD intervention. The property had several maintenance violations between 2021-2023 that were subsequently resolved, including safety issues such as missing balusters in the second-story handrail, boiler room door concerns, and building entrance maintenance needs. Multiple water leak complaints were documented in April 2022, though HPD was again often unable to access the affected areas.

More positively, since 2022, the building has shown compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with all recent filings (2022-2025) indicating zero infested units or eradication efforts needed. Regular rodent inspections conducted between 2012-2022 have consistently resulted in passing grades, suggesting some level of effective pest management, despite the documented complaints. The building's most recent violation history shows improved maintenance practices, with all previously noted violations now closed and no new citations recorded in the past year.
