75-51 67th Drive, Queens, NY 11379

The two-family house at 75-51 67th Drive in Middle Village, owned by Matteo Manzella, has experienced several notable maintenance and safety issues since 2021. The most significant concerns originate from October 2021, when the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) issued violations following inspections that revealed problems with electrical wiring, water leaks resulting in damp spots, and issues with wall paint/plaster.

Specifically, the building was cited for unsafe electrical wiring conditions with exposed wires in the cellar, a leaking roof affecting the second-story public hall ceiling, problems with plaster surfaces and ceiling paint in the same area, and an accumulation of refuse in the cellar. These violations were designated as "Open" status with no certified resolution date. More recent issues include a Department of Buildings complaint from July 2023 regarding defective/exposed electrical wiring, which resulted in an Oath Violation being served.

The building has also experienced recurring problems with unsanitary conditions related to private property and animals, with multiple complaints about cats between 2018 and 2021, though these were mostly either referred to other agencies or resulted in inspection access issues. While there was an initial rodent inspection in October 2013 that resulted in a passing grade, this is the only documented inspection of this type. It's worth noting that all the significant violations from October 2021, while still listed as "Open," appear to correspond with the Housing Maintenance Code Complaints processed between October 1-12, 2021, suggesting they may have been addressed through that process, though confirmation through official channels would be required for verification.
