54-32 Arnold Avenue, Queens, NY 11378

The four-unit, two-story tenement at 54-32 Arnold Avenue, built in 1915 and currently owned by Alberto Astudillo, has experienced several infrastructural issues over the past five years that warrant attention. Most notably, there has been a recurring pattern of electrical problems, particularly in 2020, with multiple reports of power outages and lighting issues, some of which resulted in violations being issued.

The building has also faced recent maintenance challenges, including a 2023 complaint about unsanitary garbage/recycling storage, though this was ultimately closed without violations. As of 2024, there are open violations related to building safety requirements, including missing notices for carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detector requirements, gas leak procedures, and the registration number display, all of which were originally cited in 2021.

The property has undergone regular inspections for bedbug and pest compliance, with the most recent bedbug report for 2023 showing no infested units during the previous filing period (2021-2022). However, there have been multiple rodent activity reports in early 2024, marking a concerning trend as prior inspections in 2010 and 2017 showed no such issues. While the building has a history of addressing various maintenance issues through HPD inspections and complaints, the persistence of some open violations and recent rodent activity inspections suggests ongoing challenges in maintaining regulatory compliance and resident comfort.
