59-36 72nd Street, Queens, NY 11378
The three-unit, three-story residential building at 59-36 72nd Street in Maspeth, owned by Joseph Rizzo, has experienced recurring electrical issues over the past several years. Most notably, there have been two documented power outages in 2019 and 2022, both affecting the second-floor apartment and resulting in Housing Maintenance Code violations.
The 2022 incident, which occurred in September, remains classified as an "Open" violation regarding the inadequate electrical service supply to fixtures throughout the affected apartment. Though the 2019 outage was documented with violations that were ultimately closed, it followed a similar pattern, impacting the second-floor unit.
Additional safety concerns have been documented throughout 2018-2022, including violations related to an unauthorized security feature. Both 2018 and 2019 records show "Open" violations regarding an illegal double-cylinder key-operated lock installed at the building's entrance door in the public hall on the first story. While some issues have been resolved—such as the 2018 electrical violation having been closed—the pattern of electrical problems and security violations suggests ongoing maintenance and safety concerns within the building.
