60-19 Madison Street, Queens, NY 11385

60-19 Madison Street is a three-unit, three-story New Law tenement built in 1913 and currently owned by Julie Derosa. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, with particular clusters of complaints in 2021 and 2019. The most recent concerns, documented in 2023, involved unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage, though Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) inspectors were unable to gain access for verification.

In 2021, multiple non-emergency complaints were filed regarding unsanitary conditions (pests and garbage storage), safety issues (smoke detectors), and general concerns (mailbox problems). Several of these complaints, including those from 2019, had to be closed without inspection due to access issues. Notably, there was a Housing Maintenance Code violation in 2021 regarding the failure to file an annual bedbug report, though subsequent filings from 2021 through 2025 have reported zero infested units.

The building has undergone two rodent inspections in 2017 and one in 2022, with the 2017 inspections showing both passing and failing results, while the 2022 inspection passed. There were also two significant complaints filed in September 2021 regarding illegal conversion and improper egress, though inspectors were either unable to verify or found no violations at the time of inspection. While the building has had various maintenance issues over the years, including problems with plumbing (bathtub/shower) and window panes in 2019, the most pressing concerns appear to be related to access issues for inspections and recurring garbage storage problems. However, the most recent bedbug reports indicate successful eradication efforts, with no infestations reported in the past three years.
