59-18 Palmetto Street, Queens, NY 11385

59-18 Palmetto Street is a 2-story, 4-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Anthony Corbo in Ridgewood, NYC. The property has experienced recurring administrative issues regarding bedbug reporting compliance between 2021 and 2024, with four documented Housing Maintenance Code violations for failure to file annual bedbug reports, though these violations were ultimately closed.

The building's most significant recent challenge has been related to water drainage and maintenance, with an active complaint as of May 2025 regarding improper drainage (LL103/89). An earlier similar complaint from February 2023 was closed with an Oath violation served in July 2023. This drainage issue was formally documented as an Environmental Control Board violation on June 6, 2023, noting that the rain leader pipe on the left side of the building was not properly connected to the storm drain/drywell, though this violation was resolved with no penalties imposed.

Despite these issues, the building's maintenance record shows no documented infestations or re-infestations of bedbugs over the past five reporting periods from 2021 to 2024, indicating effective pest management once the reporting compliance issues were addressed. Additionally, a rodent inspection conducted on June 14, 2017, resulted in a passing score, suggesting satisfactory conditions regarding rodent control at that time. While the building has experienced some compliance issues requiring attention to documentation and maintenance, particularly regarding drainage systems, the resolution of bedbug reporting violations and the absence of pest infestations in recent years shows improvement in certain maintenance aspects.
