15-44 126th Street, Queens, NY 11356

The three-story, two-family house at 15-44 126th Street in College Point, owned by Paul Rifino, was constructed in 2005 and has experienced several maintenance issues over its history. Most recently, in August 2023, the building had instances of water leakage with heavy flow affecting the ceiling area, though no violations were issued following the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) inspections.

The building also faced multiple maintenance challenges in September 2020, including problems with heat and hot water, electrical outlets or switches, and a refrigerator, but inspections were not conducted as the department was unable to gain access to the affected areas. Additionally, there were reports of unsanitary conditions related to pests during this period. The property has demonstrated good pest management practices, with bedbug reports showing zero infestation, eradication, or re-infestation cases reported consistently from 2019 through 2024.

A COVID-19 related complaint was filed and inspected in April 2020, but no violations were found. While the building has experienced periodic maintenance issues, most have been addressed through the official complaint system, and there have been no recent violations or infestation problems reported in the past two years. The most recent documented complaints in 2023 were resolved quickly, within two days of being reported.
