71-30 Burns Street, Queens, NY 11375

The 6-story, 26-unit building at 71-30 Burns Street in Forest Hills, owned by Cody Masino Masino, has a documented history spanning several concerning structural and safety issues, particularly between 2021 and 2023. Most notably, the building was classified as having an "Unsafe" façade condition in February 2022, which required safety measures such as scaffolding and netting, and resulted in a $10,000 violation penalty. This unsafe condition prompted multiple tenant safety inspections throughout 2022, with some inspections finding no violations while others resulted in compliance orders.

The building also faced challenges with required Low Pressure Inspections, having multiple active violations issued in 2023 for failures to file these inspections for 2021 and 2022. The property has shown consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with all six annual reports (2019-2024) showing zero infested or re-infested units, suggesting effective pest management practices. Recent activity related to building safety compliance has been less problematic, with all Department of Buildings complaints from 2022-2023 being resolved, including inspections of sidewalk sheds and tenant safety, most of which found no violations or resulted in compliance orders.

Two significant ECB violations were resolved, one related to unsafe façade safety measures ($10,000 penalty) and another regarding a sidewalk shed ($2,400 penalty). An active violation remains regarding the failure to file the 2021 external low-pressure inspection, issued in June 2023, which bears monitoring for future compliance resolution. The building's records suggest improved maintenance and compliance in recent years, particularly regarding pest management, though historical safety concerns and structural issues merit attention.
