115-11 Liberty Avenue, Queens, NY 11419

The 3-story, 4-unit residential building at 115-11 Liberty Avenue in Richmond Hill, owned by John Mastanduono, has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent years, particularly throughout 2023. Most notably, there is currently an open Class C violation from November 2023 regarding rodent and cockroach infestations in the 3rd floor apartment (3F), and violations related to defective self-closing doors in both the public hall and apartment 3F.

The building has also faced multiple maintenance challenges in 2023, including heat/hot water issues, problems with doors/windows, and various unsanitary conditions, particularly concerning pests. Several emergency and non-emergency complaints were filed between July and December 2023, covering a range of issues such as problems with the mailbox, refrigerator, plumbing fixtures, and electric systems. The building's documented history also raises concerns about safety and building regulations, with multiple complaints filed regarding potential illegal conversions and egress issues, though in all cases, inspectors were unable to gain access for verification.

Violation notices from November 2023 indicate additional concerns with the building's mail receptacles, bell/buzzer system, and other general maintenance issues in public areas. However, it's worth noting that quarterly bedbug reports filed between 2021 and 2025 show no infestations in any units, suggesting effective management of that particular pest issue. While the building has had regular inspections and prompt responses to complaints, the pattern of repeated maintenance issues, particularly relating to pests and building systems, suggests ongoing challenges with property maintenance and resident comfort.
