54-18 Arnold Avenue, Queens, NY 11378

54-18 Arnold Avenue is a 2-story, 4-unit New Law Tenement building in Maspeth, built in 1915 and currently owned by Miriam Yavo. The property has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most pressing concerns being rodent-related problems. In the summer of 2023 alone, there were two significant rodent-related incidents, with one inspection resulting in a "Failed for Other Reasons" rating in June, though a subsequent August compliance inspection passed.

The building has maintained a clean bedbug record since 2021, with no reported infestations or eradications in the past four reporting periods. The building's maintenance history shows multiple instances of plumbing and sanitary issues, particularly during 2018 when there were several complaints regarding heavy water leaks and mold problems, especially affecting Unit 1R. During this period, multiple violations were issued regarding mold, water leaks, and building maintenance requirements, though many were subsequently closed.

A notable heat and hot water complaint was recorded in March 2021, though the issue was reportedly resolved quickly. The building has passed all rodent inspections since August 2023, with the most recent being compliant, suggesting improved conditions. There are no active violations as of 2025, and all required safety notices and documentation, including bedbug reporting and carbon monoxide detector requirements, have been addressed in recent inspections.
