92-25 54th Avenue, Queens, NY 11373

The three-story residential building at 92-25 54th Avenue in Elmhurst, owned by Bernhard Laib, has been facing ongoing maintenance challenges since at least 2020. Most notably, there have been consistent issues with pest management, particularly regarding bedbugs, as evidenced by three active Class A violations in 2022, 2023, and 2024 related to the failure to file required annual bedbug reports with HPD.

The building has also experienced significant lead paint compliance issues in 2021, with multiple Class C violations indicating failures to notify occupants and investigate lead-based paint hazards, as well as a specific violation concerning records required under Local Law 1 of 2004 related to lead paint management. The property has demonstrated persistent rodent control challenges, with documented rat activity in compliance inspections from 2023, 2020, and most recently in January 2023, despite earlier inspections in 2015 having passed.

A notable Department of Health and Mental Hygiene inspection in May 2020 found violations requiring follow-up inspections. With the current date being July 2025, it is important to note that all these violations, which were documented up until October 2023, remain open according to the most recent available data, indicating potentially ongoing compliance issues that have not been resolved through proper remediation or certification processes.
