60-41 Fresh Pond Road, Queens, NY 11378

The two-family house located at 60-41 Fresh Pond Road in Maspeth, owned by Janusz Czarnecki, has experienced several notable incidents in recent years that warrant attention. Most concerning are the recent rodent-related issues, with inspections confirming rat activity as recently as August 2024, and multiple complaints about rodents, insects, and garbage in 2024 that were eventually closed by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH).

Prior to these recent complaints, the property had a pattern of similar issues between 2021-2024, with multiple DOHMH service requests regarding food establishment concerns, particularly related to pests and garbage. The building's history also includes two Department of Buildings complaints from May 2020 regarding illegal/improper vent/exhaust issues, though these complaints were found to be unsubstantiated based on department records.

On a more positive note, the property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with official reports from 2019 through 2024 indicating zero cases in any dwelling unit during the annual reporting periods. While the building's age (constructed in 1925) is typical for the neighborhood, the recent and recurring pest control issues, particularly the documented rat activity in 2024, represent the most significant challenge currently facing residents.
