62-59 110th Street, Queens, NY 11375

The 6-unit, 2-story residential building at 62-59 110th Street in Forest Hills, owned by Roctone, LLC and constructed in 1950, has experienced several notable issues in recent years. Most significantly, in May 2024, the building faced serious regulatory concerns with active Environmental Control Board violations regarding unauthorized cellar conversions, including full-height partitions, bathroom, kitchen, and sleeping facilities, with two tenants claiming 18 years of occupancy without proper permits, each carrying a $1,280 penalty. The building's compliance history shows recurring bedbug reporting violations from 2021 through 2023, though recent filings indicate no active infestations during the 2022-2023 and 2021-2022 cycles.

Heat and hot water issues were reported in December 2019, and rodent activity was documented in 2021, with the Department of Health noting violations requiring follow-up inspections. More recently, in early 2025, a Local Law 188/17 compliance inspection was unable to gain access to the property, marking a concerning pattern of inspection access issues. The building's maintenance record shows a mix of compliance and violations, with the most recent bedbug reporting period (2022-2023) showing zero infested or re-infested units.

Historical records indicate some rodent control challenges, with inspections in 2021 showing rat activity, though earlier inspections in 2010 had varying results. The property has also faced inspection challenges, with multiple complaints in 2024 regarding construction and safety concerns, including an elevator issue in February 2024 that could not be properly investigated due to insufficient information. The building's management has periodically failed to meet inspection requirements, as evidenced by multiple "Unable To Gain Access" outcomes in recent inspections, which raises some concerns about the promptness of addressing building issues.
