61-25 156th Street, Queens, NY 11367

The two-family house at 61-25 156th Street in Flushing, owned by John Tenorio and built in 1925, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, in late 2022, there were multiple urgent complaints regarding the second-floor apartment (2FL) including rodent infestations (both mice and roaches), water leaks affecting ceilings, and plaster/paint issues.

These violations, categorized as Class B, indicate they pose a moderate risk to tenant health and safety. In April 2023, an Environmental Control Board violation was issued regarding safety concerns with a loose handrail in the second-floor hallway, marked as an active violation with a $1,250 penalty.

The building has had some attention to rodent issues, passing an inspection in March 2022, but subsequent problems suggest ongoing challenges with pest control. Most recently, a permit was issued on October 20, 2023, for unspecified work, which could potentially address some of the building's maintenance concerns. While no violations were noted in recent inspections regarding heat/hot water, plaster issues, or water leaks - all of which had been documented previously - the ongoing active violation from April 2023 and relatively recent history of multiple maintenance issues suggest that building upkeep has been an ongoing concern.
