29-59 Falcon Avenue, Queens, NY 11691

The three-family house at 29-59 Falcon Avenue in Bayswater, owned by Joseph Houshaminian, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues since 2021, with the most recent inspections occurring in October 2023 revealing three open violations. These violations include the need to post proper notices regarding carbon monoxide detector requirements and gas leak procedures in common areas, as well as a violation for a non-GFCI outlet in the kitchen of the first-floor apartment.

The building has a documented history of multiple maintenance issues in late 2021, including problems with heat and hot water affecting the entire building, various electrical issues (outlets and switches), water leaks, window frame concerns, and problems with cabinetry. Additional violations from September 2021 indicated infestations of mice and roaches in the first-floor apartment, along with issues of peeling paint and unsanitary conditions including mold. While many of the earlier violations were eventually closed, records show a pattern of maintenance challenges throughout 2021-2023.

The building's rodent inspections from late 2019 and early 2020 show mixed results, with an initial failure followed by a compliance pass. The property, built in 1945 and classified as a three-family house, has had numerous health and safety-related complaints, particularly concerning heat, water, and sanitation, though which the Department of Housing Preservation and Development typically found no violations upon inspection. The most recent open violations from October 2023 suggest continuing attention to safety systems is needed, though some earlier violations from 2021 have been certified as resolved.
