57-63 59th Street, Queens, NY 11378
The two-family house at 57-63 59th Street in Maspeth, owned by Gary Johnson, has experienced several significant maintenance issues since 2021. Most recently, in October 2024, there were urgent complaints regarding non-functional carbon monoxide and smoke detectors that an HPD inspector was unable to access for verification.
The building is currently facing multiple open Housing Maintenance Code violations from February 2024 in Apartment 1, including mold issues, non-functional carbon monoxide detectors, and problems with a defective kitchen stove pilot light. In 2023, further violations were documented relating to lead-based paint hazards and various maintenance issues, though some 2023 complaints (including those regarding plumbing, pests, and appliance problems) were resolved without violations being issued. The property has a history of access issues during inspections, with inspectors frequently unable to gain entry to assess complaints, including multiple instances in 2021 concerning electrical, safety, and general maintenance issues.
A series of rodent inspections between 2019 and 2021 showed variable results, with one instance of rat activity noted in March 2021. While some non-emergency complaints regarding appliances and plumbing issues were resolved (such as a refrigerator problem in February 2024), the recurring nature of safety-related complaints, especially regarding detectors and potential lead hazards, is noteworthy. The building's most recent major renovations or updates are not documented in the provided data, and several open violations from 2024 suggest ongoing maintenance needs.
