76-07 Cooper Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 76-07 Cooper Avenue in Middle Village, owned by Luis Ramos, has been in operation since 1920 and has experienced several noteworthy maintenance issues over the past five years. Most concerning are the four open violations related to annual bedbug reporting requirements from 2020-2024, which indicate non-compliance with Housing Maintenance Code regulations.

The building has also faced significant safety concerns regarding its second-floor apartment (2NDFLO) in 2020, including the inoperative carbon monoxide detector and smoke detector, defective window counterbalance in the kitchen, and issues with the electrical service supply - all of which have resulted in Class B violations requiring prompt attention. Additional open violations from 2019 concern rooftop bulkhead door security and fire escape accessibility, which pose potential safety hazards. The building's maintenance history shows some pattern of electrical and general maintenance issues, particularly in mid-2018 when multiple complaints were filed regarding electrical outlets/switches and cabinet problems, all of which were ultimately closed with no violations issued.

More recently, there have been multiple 311 service requests regarding window frames (2020) and other general maintenance issues. Regular rodent inspections in 2017 showed initial compliance failure, though a subsequent inspection resulted in a pass. While many of these historical issues have been addressed, the persistence of open violations related to safety equipment (bedbug reporting, smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector) suggests ongoing maintenance oversight in certain areas of the property.
