79-06 Metropolitan Avenue, Queens, NY 11379

The three-story, two-family house at 79-06 Metropolitan Avenue in Middle Village, owned by Giovanni Porretto, was constructed in 2001 and has maintained a relatively clean record over its lifetime. Most notably, there was a recent issue with the sprinkler system in June 2024, when a complaint was filed regarding inadequate system performance.

This complaint, however, resulted in an "Inspector Unable To Gain Access" disposition, meaning the inspector could not evaluate the system during the scheduled visit, though this was marked as a second final attempt at inspection. The building has consistently reported zero incidents of bedbug infestation over the past five reporting periods from 2021 through 2024, covering various annual periods from November to October.

Each of these reports, which are mandatory for multi-family dwellings in New York City, indicated no infested dwelling units, no eradicated units, and no re-infested units, suggesting effective management of pest control in this regard. While the sprinkler system complaint raises some concerns about fire safety infrastructure access, the building's overall maintenance record, particularly in terms of pest management, has been exemplary with no reported infestations over the past four years.
