60-27 54th Street, Queens, NY 11378

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 60-27 54th Street in Maspeth, owned by Omar Riveros, has a documented history of maintenance issues, particularly between 2020-2022, with some continuing concerns into 2023-2024. The property experienced two heat and hot water-related complaints in 2022 (one in November and another in February), both of which were closed after HPD intervention, though the November incident was classified as an emergency. Multiple violations were identified in 2022, particularly affecting the first-floor apartment (Apartment 1), including issues with interior surfaces, bathroom fixtures, and an ongoing rodent infestation problem.

These included defective plaster surfaces, broken bathroom tiles, a defective marble saddle, and mouse infestations, with some of these violations remaining open as of April 2022. The building has also been subject to bedbug reporting requirements, with violations recorded in 2020-2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though these violations were closed. The property had a concerning carbon monoxide detector issue in 2020 that has since been resolved.

More recently, there have been no reported infestations, as evidenced by the bedbug filings from 2023-2025 showing zero infested or re-infested units, and the property passed a rodent inspection in 2017. The most significant recent improvement is the apparent resolution of the heating issues that affected the building in 2022, as there have been no further complaints in this regard. While many violations from 2022 have been resolved, it's worth noting that some opened violations from that period, specifically related to maintenance issues in Apartment 1, had not been marked as resolved in the most recent available data.
