65-43 Grand Avenue, Queens, NY 11378

The 4-unit, 3-story building at 65-43 Grand Avenue in Maspeth, owned by Louis Bekios, has been standing since 1940 and is classified as an Old Law Tenement. The property has experienced several recurring administrative issues related to bedbug reporting compliance, with Housing Maintenance Code violations issued in 2021, 2022, 2023, and most recently in April 2024, all citing failure to file the required annual bedbug reports.

However, the most recent bedbug report filed in July 2025 for the period November 2023 to October 2024 indicated no infested units, no eradicated units, and no re-infested units, suggesting either successful management of this issue or improved reporting compliance. The building has a relatively recent health incident on record from June 2024, involving a food poisoning complaint that the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene investigated and deemed an isolated incident, with potential follow-up by the Bureau of Food Safety and Community Sanitation.

A prior safety concern was documented in October 2019 regarding inadequate lighting at the front entranceway, which was resolved through certification of proper lighting installation by the end of October 2019. While the building has had some regulatory compliance issues, particularly regarding bedbug reporting, the most recent filings indicate improved conditions, though the recurring nature of the earlier violations suggests this had been a persistent administrative challenge for the property.
