59-06 Myrtle Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

59-06 Myrtle Avenue is a three-story, two-family residence built in 1931, currently owned by Myrtle Avenue LLC. The building has experienced several notable issues in recent years that warrant attention. Most recently, in April 2024, there were multiple complaints regarding electric/gas range appliances, though these were investigated by the HPD and no violations were found.

Prior to this, there was a power outage incident in September 2023, also investigated with no violations cited. More concerning are the active violations related to external low pressure inspection requirements, with four open violations from 2022-2023 indicating failure to file necessary documentation. The building has a notable history of Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations from 2019 regarding unregistered water boilers, specifically an AO Smith hot water boiler and a Crown gas-fired water boiler, for which penalties were imposed but have since been marked as having no balance due. The building's compliance history shows attention to basic safety inspections, with rodent inspections in 2012 and 2017 passing successfully, and the most recent bedbug report from 2024 showing no infestations or eradication efforts needed.

The property has experienced various maintenance issues over the past five years, including the need for multiple appliance inspections in 2024 and an electrical power outage in 2023. While most recent complaints have been resolved without violations, the ongoing issues with filing external low pressure inspections and the 2019 boiler registration violations suggest some challenges with timely maintenance compliance. The building's ownership structure as a two-family home and its age of over 90 years indicate typical challenges associated with older residential buildings, though the consistent passing of rodent inspections and absence of bedbug issues in recent reports suggests generally effective pest management. The property has maintained basic safety compliance, as evidenced by the lack of major safety violations, though the pattern of appliance-related complaints and inspection requirements suggests careful attention to maintenance schedules may be needed.
