60-15 Fresh Pond Road, Queens, NY 11378

The three-story, 37-unit residential building at 60-15 Fresh Pond Road in Maspeth, owned by Moshe Katzenstein, was constructed in 1942 and has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past three years (2021-2025) that significantly impact resident quality of life. Most recently, in May 2024, multiple complaints were recorded and closed regarding water leaks, plumbing issues, ceiling problems, and unsanitary conditions with pests, including open violations for these issues.

Notable ongoing concerns include persistent water leaks affecting Apartment C11, which has multiple open violations from April and May 2024 related to ceiling paint, roof leaks, and pest infestations (including both roaches and mice). The building has also experienced regular plumbing issues, with multiple complaints about sinks, water supply, and slow leaks being reported between 2021 and 2024. Previously recorded issues include a heat and hot water complaint for the entire building in March 2021, which was reportedly resolved.

The property underwent its most recent rodent inspections in 2015, 2014, and 2011, with the 2011 inspection showing a failed result for "Other Reasons," though subsequent inspections passed. The building has maintained a consistent record of filing bedbug reports annually, with the most recent filings in 2024, 2023, and 2022 showing zero infested or re-infested units, suggesting effective management of any past infestations. The Department of Buildings has only one complaint on record (from 2018) regarding site conditions, which resulted in no violations being found.
