81-18 Queens Boulevard, Queens, NY 11373

81-18 Queens Boulevard is a 6-story, 30-unit residential building constructed in 2004 in Elmhurst, currently owned by Otto Chang. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent being an elevator service violation in January 2023, where the primary elevator was out of service without alternate means of operation, leading to a violation and a fine related to tampered or disabled door zone restrictors and leaking seals in the machine room.

Previous electrical safety concerns were documented in 2018, with two complaints about defective and exposed wiring, including improper use of extension cords and unapproved electrical equipment in the basement and parking areas, though one of these inspections was unable to gain access. The building's history shows attention to pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past four years (2021-2024), as documented in the Department of Health's bedbug reporting system.

Prior to these recent years, there were two rodent inspections in 2012, with one initial inspection resulting in failure for "other reasons," while a subsequent compliance inspection passed. While the building has had its share of mechanical and safety issues, particularly regarding the elevator system and electrical wiring, recent years have shown improved pest control management, and current bedbug reports indicate no infestations during the specified periods.
