80-82 59th Street, Queens, NY 11385

The three-unit residential building at 80-82 59th Street in Glendale, owned by Hilda Guangatal Iza, has experienced notable housing maintenance and safety concerns since its construction in 2004. Most significantly, there has been a persistent pattern of bedbug-related compliance issues, with the most recent violation occurring in April 2024, though the building's 2025 bedbug report indicates no current infestation. Between 2021 and 2023, the property underwent significant incidents regarding unauthorized modifications and safety concerns, particularly around plumbing systems and potential illegal conversions. From February to December 2023 alone, there were multiple complaints about unpermitted plumbing work and conversion attempts, with inspectors being denied access on each of the six attempts to investigate these concerns.

Three separate complaints regarding unauthorized conversions were filed during 2023-2024, with similar access denial issues preventing proper inspection. While many violations have been officially marked as "CLOSED," the pattern of access denial raises concerns about the enforcement of building regulations. The building's recent bedbug reporting history shows a period of infestation between 2021-2022, affecting all three units, though these were reportedly eradicated. The most current bedbug report for 2023-2024 (filed January 2025) indicates no infested units.

The property has complied with annual bedbug reporting requirements, as evidenced by the most recent filing, though its history of violations suggests prior oversight or enforcement challenges. An "illegal conversion" complaint was filed in 2024, though inspectors were again unable to gain access to verify the situation. This building has been registered with appropriate authorities since 2004, and while many violations have been resolved, the access denial pattern during inspections suggests potential ongoing concerns with compliance verification. The information above is based on data available up to October 2023 and serves as a summary of the building's significant events and conditions through that date.
