15-06 150th Street, Queens, NY 11357

The four-story, 22-unit New Law tenement building at 15-06 150th Street in Whitestone, owned by Michael Baccellieri, was constructed in 1921 and has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in November 2024, there were documented heating and hot water system failures affecting the entire building, though these issues were temporarily resolved during HPD's investigation.

Simultaneously, multiple housing maintenance code violations were recorded, including water leak problems, fire retardant material damage, and painting requirements in the fourth-story public hall bulkhead area, all of which were certified as corrected by November 2024. The building has a history of violations related to external low-pressure inspections, with four separate violations issued between 2022 and 2023, all of which were ultimately dismissed by April 2025. While there were some complaints about unauthorized work and construction in 2020, inspectors did not find violations at the time of their investigations.

Notably, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past seven consecutive reporting periods from 2019 through 2024. A 2022 rodent inspection also passed successfully. Recent heating system failures and ongoing maintenance issues suggest some challenges with building infrastructure, though many previously cited violations have been resolved or dismissed through proper remediation or health and safety inspections.
