60-79 56th Street, Queens, NY 11378
The 4-unit, 2-story tenement building at 60-79 56th Street in Maspeth, owned by David Font, has experienced several notable maintenance issues since 2017. Most recently, there is an open Housing Maintenance Code violation from April 2024 regarding the failure to file the required annual bedbug report, which has been an ongoing compliance issue with similar violations recorded in 2023 and 2022.
The building's water infrastructure has also been problematic, with a slow water leak reported in August 2019 that required HPD inspection, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the conditions. Earlier records show some rodent-related regulatory activity in 2017, with an initial inspection failing for unspecified reasons in May, though a subsequent compliance inspection in June resulted in a passing grade.
Interestingly, the building's bedbug reporting history from February 2021 covering the 2019-2020 period showed no instances of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation, which stands in contrast to the current violation regarding reporting requirements. The property has been standing since its 1915 construction and would be considered as part of the Old Law Tenement category under NYC's building classification system.
