59-20 61st Street, Queens, NY 11378

The 12-unit, 3-story building at 59-20 61st Street in Maspeth, owned by Maria Tapalaga, was constructed in 1943 and has maintained a generally positive record regarding pest management compliance. The property has undergone regular bedbug reporting as mandated by the Housing Maintenance Code, with the most recent inspection in April 2024 resulting in a violation for failure to file the annual bedbug report.

However, subsequent filings have shown no evidence of infestation, with each report from 2021 through 2024 (covering various annual periods) consistently documenting zero infested dwelling units, zero eradications, and zero re-infested units. Prior to the most recent violation, the building had successfully passed all bedbug-related inspections and demonstrated compliance through multiple filing periods from 2019 to 2024.

The building's pest management track record shows particular attention to bedbug reporting requirements, though there was a temporary lapse in compliance in April 2024 that resulted in a violation notice. The only other relevant inspection on record is a rodent inspection conducted in April 2017, which the building passed. This suggests that while the building has maintained good overall conditions with regard to pest control, there was an administrative oversight concerning the bedbug reporting requirement in 2024 that was later rectified through subsequent filings.
