60-48 75th Street, Queens, NY 11379

The two-family house at 60-48 75th Street in Elmhurst, owned by Mario Tawel, is a two-story residential building constructed in 1960. The property experienced significant regulatory scrutiny in 2019, primarily related to unauthorized occupancy issues.

Four complaints regarding illegal conversions were filed between February and September 2019, with three inspections resulting in access denial on two separate attempts, though one complaint led to an Oath Violation being served. A cluster of Environmental Control Board violations was documented on February 22, 2019, specifically citing concerns about occupancy contrary to building department records, lack of required means of egress, absence of necessary sprinkler systems, and deficiencies in fire alarm systems related to unauthorized transient use of a second-floor apartment.

These violations, categorized as immediately hazardous, resulted in additional Department of Buildings violations in May 2019 for failure to certify corrections, though all these violations were subsequently dismissed by August 30, 2019, according to available records. Throughout this period, no monetary penalties were imposed or remain due on the building. Since the resolution of these issues in 2019, there have been no recorded complaints or violations through October 2023, suggesting compliance with building requirements in recent years.
