148-25 29th Avenue, Queens, NY 11354

This two-story, four-unit residential building located at 148-25 29th Avenue in Flushing, owned by Mario D'urso, has a mixed maintenance history since its construction in 1942. The most recent health and sanitation issue was reported in June 2024 regarding unsanitary pigeon conditions, though a subsequent Department of Health inspection found no violations. The building experienced recurring heat and hot water issues in late 2018, with three separate complaints between November and December of that year, all classified as emergencies.

A similar heat-related complaint was filed in March 2019, but in all cases the Department of Housing Preservation and Development confirmed that services had been restored by the time of their investigation. The building's records also indicate some administrative challenges, including a failed Department of Buildings inspection in December 2018 related to certificate of occupancy matters, where the inspector was unable to gain access. In 2021, a violation was recorded for failing to file the required annual bedbug report, though this appears to have been rectified.

On a positive note, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations since 2020, with annual reports showing zero infested units or eradication cases. The most recent rodent inspection in September 2024 resulted in a passing grade, a marked improvement from a failed inspection in August 2012. The building's management has demonstrated consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2020, with the most recent filing in December 2024 showing no infestations during the designated period.
