54-33 Metropolitan Avenue, Queens, NY 11385
54-33 Metropolitan Avenue is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building located in Maspeth, Queens, built in 1915 and currently owned by Najma Ahmed. The property has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most notable cluster of problems occurring in March-April 2025, including violations related to plumbing (bathtub/shower), electrical (no lighting), and unsanitary conditions (mold). Two plumbing violations regarding bathtubs/showers were issued violations, and there were also issues with flooring that required attention.
The building's violation history shows multiple ongoing concerns, including an open violation from April 2024 regarding the failure to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection, and several open Class A and B violations from June 2023 related to fire safety, door closures, window locks, and a missing bedbug report. The property has undergone various inspections and received attention from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) over the past two years. In 2023, inspections revealed multiple violations in Apartment 3R, including issues with self-closing doors, fire escape access, and window locks.
Emergency complaints were also received regarding roofing, skylight, and electrical wiring in January 2025. While some complaints have been closed with violations issued and required corrections, others were found not to violate housing laws. The building's maintenance record shows a mix of resolved and ongoing violations, particularly concerning fire safety systems, water features, and general maintenance issues. Historical rodent inspections between 2011 and 2017 indicate varying results, with some failures and one period of rat activity noted in 2011, though more recent inspections (2017) passed.
