60-20 Fresh Pond Road, Queens, NY 11378

The two-family house at 60-20 Fresh Pond Road in Maspeth, owned by Catherine Califano, has experienced significant heating and hot water system challenges, particularly during the winter months of late 2019 and early 2020. The building, constructed in 1930, documented multiple heat and hot water complaints through the 311 system and Housing Maintenance Code complaints between December 2019 and February 2020, with tenants reporting no heat or hot water conditions on several occasions. While the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) inspected these complaints multiple times, violations were only issued during one inspection on January 11, 2020.

Other outstanding issues from 2020 include an open violation for a defective carbon monoxide detector in Apartment 2R and an open violation regarding hot water issues in Apartment 2R, though many other violations from this period have since been closed. The building's maintenance history from 2020 shows attention to several other safety concerns, including the installation of window guards in Apartment 2R and repairs to a defective building entrance door, both completed by February 2020. A plumbing issue concerning water supply was also noted and subsequently addressed.

In a more positive light, a rodent inspection from March 2017 was passed, suggesting no current concerns with vermin. It's worth noting that while the building had multiple emergency heat and hot water complaints in late 2019 and early 2020, there have been no similar documented issues in the past three years (up to October 2023). The property remains classified as a two-story, two-family dwelling under Building Class designation.
