71-08 Grand Avenue, Queens, NY 11378

The three-story, four-unit tenement building at 71-08 Grand Avenue in Maspeth, owned by Anthony Cerrito, has experienced several maintenance issues over recent years, though with generally improving conditions. Between June and July 2019, the building faced multiple complaints requiring HPD intervention, including violations related to ceiling and wall paint/plaster conditions, particularly affecting unit 3F, as well as a water supply issue (though no violations were found for this complaint).

The July 2019 violations specifically noted problems with window frames and plastered surfaces in 3F, covering multiple rooms and the kitchen, all of which were officially certified as corrected in January 2024. A power outage incident occurred in August 2018, which was handled as an immediate emergency with no violations issued. The building's more recent history shows improvements in compliance and maintenance.

Between 2021 and 2023, there were three consecutive annual bedbug reports submitted (for the periods 2020-2021, 2021-2022, and 2022-2023) indicating no infestations in any units, with similar clean records continuing into 2024 and 2025. A notable recent compliance issue was the failure to file the 2018 External Low Pressure Inspection, which resulted in a violation in June 2023 but was dismissed by August 2023. The building's maintenance record shows an overall reduction in complaints and violations over time, with the most recent bedbug report for 2025 showing zero infested or previously infested units, suggesting improved building conditions and maintenance practices.
