32-50 44th Street, Queens

    A six-unit Astoria walk-up with one open administrative violation and active curb and air-quality patterns on surrounding blocks.

    This 6-unit Astoria walk-up sold for $1.35 million in April 2025 to Morocho Group LLC. The building maintains a short paper file, but the surrounding block shows active curb friction and commercial air quality complaints. Three things to know:

    One open administrative violation and a single heat call in April 2026. The building carries one open Class A violation from May 2026 for failing to submit an annual bedbug report. Operational complaints are light, with a single building-wide heat and hot water call logged on April 25, 2026, which was subsequently closed.

    Ventilation and food establishment calls show up across nearby blocks. Neighbors within three blocks logged 8 food establishment complaints and 4 indoor air quality reports in the past year. While food-service exhaust and air quality calls can drift across parcel lines, they often reflect localized venting or riser bleed from nearby ground-floor commercial spaces.

    Curb space is heavily contested within three blocks, driven by hydrant and driveway blockages. Within three blocks, neighbors filed 119 illegal parking calls and 99 blocked driveway reports over the past year. The parking calls lean heavily toward blocked hydrants (88 calls), while 60 of the driveway reports cited complete loss of vehicle access.
