75-59 Metropolitan Avenue, Queens, NY 11379

The three-story, four-unit New Law Tenement at 75-59 Metropolitan Avenue in Middle Village, owned by John Troia, has experienced several notable events since its construction in 1930. The building has maintained active compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent filing period (2022-2023) showing zero infested or previously infested units.

However, there have been recurring issues with food establishment violations, including rodent/insect/garbage complaints in 2022 and improper food handling practices in 2019, both of which were addressed according to DOHMH records. The building has faced administrative challenges, notably the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required under Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) § HMC, resulting in violations issued in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024, though these are marked as closed. In terms of maintenance issues, a paint/plaster problem involving a ceiling was reported and resolved in November 2019.

The building's commercial space, previously housing "Rosa's Pizza & Pasta," is associated with an outstanding ECB violation from 2018 regarding an unpermitted awning installation, with a penalty of $1,250 that had been active as of the last update. On the positive side, a rodent inspection conducted in March 2017 resulted in a passing score, indicating adequate pest control measures were in place at that time. The most recent housing code compliance check in April 2024 showed no active violations, though the property has had recurring administrative issues requiring documented bedbug reporting compliance through 2024.
