63-40 79th Street, Queens, NY 11379

This two-family house located at 63-40 79th Street in Middle Village, owned by Cody Macaluso, has experienced several notable events since its construction in 1940. The most significant period of activity occurred in 2018 and 2020, with multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations recorded in May 2018, primarily affecting the 2nd floor apartment's kitchen, including issues with plastered surfaces, floor tiles, sink damage, and painting requirements. A concerning safety violation was recorded during this period regarding the need to repair or replace carbon monoxide detecting devices throughout the 2ND floor apartment.

In 2020, the property underwent construction work that led to multiple Construction Safety Compliance violations, including failure to maintain required safety documentation, improper electrical work without permits, and housekeeping issues, though these violations were eventually resolved. Two permits were issued in late 2019 and October 2020 for electrical work, indicating some form of authorized renovation or repair work was completed. Additionally, there was an illegal conversion complaint in July 2018, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification.

The building has maintained compliance with most requirements since the violations were addressed, with particular attention to safety concerns regarding carbon monoxide detectors and gas leak procedures. All Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2018 have been marked as closed, and the most recent documented inspection related to Local Law Audits from October 2020 showed compliance. The property has not had any recorded violations or complaints since 2020, suggesting improved maintenance and compliance with building codes in recent years.
