64-55 Cooper Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

The three-story, five-unit tenement building at 64-55 Cooper Avenue in Glendale, owned by Giuseppe Digregorio, has a mixed record of maintenance and safety issues since 2020. Most notably, from 2022 through 2023, there were multiple Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) complaints regarding food establishment practices, with eight incidents involving bare hands contact with food, foreign objects in food, and food temperature violations.

The building faced significant plumbing issues in January 2022, with multiple emergency complaints filed regarding radiators, bathtubs/showers, basins/sinks, and heavy water leaks, along with housing maintenance code violations for pest infestations in the third-floor apartment (3F) involving mice and roaches, though these violations were subsequently closed. The property underwent several rodent inspections between 2018 and 2019, with initial failures noted in March 2018, though subsequent inspections in April 2018 and 2019 passed.

Notably, no bedbug infestations have been reported in the building since 2019, with the most recent bedbug reports from December 2024 showing zero infested units. The most recent building complaints include a closed case from 2022 regarding an illegal curb cut/driveway issue, which was found to have no violations upon inspection. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues over the years, particularly in 2022, there have been no significant reports of pest or bedbug problems in the past few years, suggesting some improvement in overall building conditions.
