61-52 Grand Avenue, Queens, NY 11378

The two-family home at 61-52 Grand Avenue in Maspeth, owned by Edward Kodis, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over the past decade. Most recently, in 2024, there were two emergency water leak complaints involving heavy flow that were filed with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) in February, though inspections could not be conducted due to lack of access.

The building has a documented history of electrical issues, with a non-emergency complaint about no lighting in October 2018, which was inspected by HPD but resulted in no violations being issued. Rodent activity has emerged as a significant concern, with an initial inspection in May 2025 confirming rat activity, marking a negative shift in the building's pest management status.

This recent finding contrasts with the building's previous rodent inspection history, where it passed a compliance inspection in January 2010, following a failed initial inspection in November 2009 for unspecified reasons. The property's documented history includes typical issues for its age, but the combination of uninvestigated water leak complaints and current rodent activity suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The two-family dwelling, constructed in 1925 and comprising two stories, has experienced relatively few documented issues over the past decade, with the most significant recent concerns centering around water and pest management.
