This three-story, two-unit residential building located in Jamaica, Queens, presents several noteworthy concerns based on its inspection and violation history from 2010 through 2025. The property, owned by Anthony Mastronardi and constructed in 2005, has faced recurring issues with heat and hot water accessibility, most significantly evidenced by a March 2020 complaint that HPD was unable to inspect due to lack of apartment access.

More recently, there are multiple open violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with failures to file the annual Bedbug Report documented annually from 2021 through 2024. The building has also received attention from the Department of Buildings, with three active violations issued in June 2023 for failure to file external low-pressure inspections for 2018, 2019, and 2022, and a previously dismissed violation from 2020 concerning the 2017 boiler inspection, which resulted in a penalty of $10,000 being paid.

The property's rodent inspection history shows a concerning pattern, particularly in 2010 when rat activity was documented in April and bait was applied in both April and May of that year. More recent rodent inspections have shown some improvement, with a "Passed" result in December 2019, though there was a "Failed for Other Reasons" designation in November 2019. The building's maintenance record suggests ongoing challenges with regulatory compliance, particularly regarding required safety inspections and reporting, though the relatively newer construction date of 2005 may mitigate some concerns compared to older buildings.
