108-20 71st Avenue, Queens, NY 11375
The 17-story, 97-unit building at 108-20 71st Avenue in Forest Hills, owned by Elliot Joseph and completed in 2013, has experienced a series of health and safety-related incidents over recent years, particularly concerning food vendor activities. Between 2024 and 2025, there have been multiple Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) complaints regarding mobile food vendors, with several cases still in progress as of mid-2025, including issues related to food worker activity, sources of protection, and pests. Two food poisoning incidents were reported in 2024, though one was determined to be isolated.
The building has also faced housing maintenance issues, including a recent heat/hot water emergency in June 2025 and a water leak incident in June 2021. Four housing maintenance code violations were documented in June 2021, relating to safety notice postings for smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and building registration requirements, though these were subsequently closed. Regarding building systems and maintenance, there was a Category 5 inspection failure recorded in December 2021 that was later dismissed in March 2024.
The building's garage signage was addressed in July 2023 with an environmental control board violation, though this was resolved with no penalties. Notably, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all annual reports from 2019 through 2024 showing zero infested or re-infested dwelling units, indicating effective pest management practices. The most recent bedbug filings for 2023-2024 and 2022-2023 confirmed no infestation issues, as have all previous filings since 2019.
