64-10 Grand Avenue, Queens, NY 11378

The three-unit, three-story brick building at 64-10 Grand Avenue in Maspeth, owned by Grace Scala and constructed in 1923, has experienced several notable events regarding building maintenance and regulations over the past five years. Most significantly, there was an open violation in 2019 regarding inadequate lighting at the front entranceway, which pertained to safety requirements for maintaining proper illumination from sunset to sunrise with a minimum of 100 watts of incandescent light.

While this violation is now classified as "closed," it marked a period of concern for resident safety at the building's entrance. From 2021 through 2023, the building faced repeated Housing Maintenance Code violations related to annual bedbug report filings, with violations issued in March 2021, 2022, and 2023. However, most recently, the building's bedbug reporting history shows no evidence of infestations, with the 2024 report indicating zero cases of infested units, eradicated units, or re-infested units.

The property has maintained consistent annual bedbug reporting compliance since 2023, with the most recent filing in December 2024 showing a clean record for the 2023-2024 period, suggesting improved adherence to bedbug reporting requirements and successful monitoring of potential infestations. It is worth noting that while the building's documented violation history may raise concerns about maintenance practices, the most recent bedbug reporting periods indicate effective management of this issue, with no reported infestations across multiple consecutive reporting periods. The building's violation records also suggest that many of the previous issues may have been resolved or resolved through proper reporting and compliance measures.
