72-42 Caldwell Avenue, Queens, NY 11378
The three-story, three-family house at 72-42 Caldwell Avenue in Maspeth, currently owned by Rong Dong, has been under scrutiny for potential illegal modifications since at least 2022. The most recent complaints center around zoning and illegal conversions, with a notable pattern of inspection access issues; in three separate cases (August 2023, July 2024, and January 2023), inspectors were unable to gain access despite multiple attempts, though one recent inspection in November 2024 found no violations regarding a non-conforming zoning complaint.
There was also a complaint in March 2023 regarding illegal hotel rooms in residential buildings, which resulted in no violations being found at the time of inspection. The building's history with environmental health concerns appears relatively stable, with no reported bedbug infestations during the most recent reporting period (November 2022 - October 2023).
Two permit-related complaints in 2022 and 2023 also resulted in access issues for inspectors. While several complaints have been filed regarding unauthorized modifications and use patterns, the persistent inability of inspectors to access the premises has limited the resolution of these concerns, with only one instance of an actual inspection occurring in recent months. The relative recency of these complaints, combined with the pattern of access issues, suggests ongoing concerns regarding the building's compliance with residential use regulations.
