60-17 62nd Avenue, Queens, NY 11378

The three-unit residential building at 60-17 62nd Avenue in Maspeth, owned by Joseph Tursi, has undergone several maintenance inspections since its construction in 2002. The most pressing current issue, as of July 2023, involves an open violation concerning the vestibule door at the first-story public hall, a problem that has persisted since at least May 2021.

This violation is part of a pattern, as evidenced by a similar open violation from the 2021 inspection, suggesting ongoing maintenance challenges with the building's entryway systems. A noteworthy interior safety concern was addressed in 2021 when self-closing doors were required and subsequently installed in the entrance located at Apartment 2 on the second floor, though this violation was later closed. The building has maintained a good record regarding pest management, with all bedbug reports from 2021 through late 2024 indicating zero infested or re-infested units, and all reported infestations having been successfully eradicated where applicable.

A significant maintenance issue was documented in March 2019, when violations were recorded regarding the condition of the basement boiler room, which required cleaning and disinfection following the removal of disposed water tanks, household refuse, and stagnant water—though this violation was certified as resolved by May 2019. The property passed a rodent inspection in April 2017, indicating compliance with basic health and safety standards at that time. While the building has had several code violations over the years, most have been addressed and resolved, with the exception of the ongoing vestibule door issues noted in recent inspections.
