199-16 32nd Avenue, Queens, NY 11358

The 5-unit, 3-story tenement at 199-16 32nd Avenue in Bayside, owned by Emil Perez, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over the past few years. Most concerning is a recent mold complaint from January 2024 that was classified as an emergency, along with a range of other maintenance issues in 2023 that included problems with stairs, walls, pests, and garbage/recycling storage.

The building has an open Class A violation from August 2023 regarding rust and paint conditions at the building front fire escape. In 2021, multiple violations were documented regarding safety notices, including missing notifications about smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and gas leak procedures, though these were subsequently closed. The property has faced significant compliance issues regarding its first-floor commercial space, with multiple ECB violations in 2023 related to illegal occupancy and unlicensed use as a physical treatment establishment, resulting in potentially substantial fines totaling $18,500.

There are ongoing concerns about electrical wiring, with complaints logged in late 2024 and early 2025 though inspectors were unable to gain access. The building, constructed in 1925, has maintained a consistent record of zero bedbug infestations over the past five reporting periods from 2019 through 2024, and had an active low-pressure inspection violation as of mid-2023. The property's documented complaints and violations suggest recurring issues with maintenance and safety compliance, particularly in the common areas and the commercial space.
