60-21 56th Road, Queens, NY 11378

The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 60-21 56th Road in Maspeth, owned by Damien Deflora, has a documented history dating back to its 1915 construction. The building has experienced several notable issues over the past few years, with the most recent concerns relating to pest management compliance.

Between 2021 and 2024, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) issued four Class A violations regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though these violations have since been closed. Notably, from 2022 through 2024, the building consistently reported zero infested dwelling units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units in its bedbug reporting filings, suggesting effective pest management during this period.

The building has also faced occasional health and safety concerns, including a closed Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) investigation in July 2021 regarding indoor air quality, specifically chemical vapors and odors, which resulted in a warning letter to the owner, and a closed HPD investigation later that month regarding pest-related issues, which did not result in any violations. Earlier in its history, the building underwent a successful rodent inspection in November 2013, passing without issues. While the property has had some intermittent violations and complaints, the most recent records indicate no active health, safety, or pest management issues, with all cited violations being resolved and no new complaints on file since 2021.
