76-10 57th Road, Queens, NY 11379

The three-unit residential building at 76-10 57th Road in Elmhurst, owned by Bajram Mehovic, has experienced several significant maintenance and regulatory issues since its construction in 1960. Most notably, there was a major heat and hot water system failure affecting the entire building in October 2018, which generated multiple emergency complaints through the Housing Maintenance Code system. While these complaints were eventually closed, they indicate a serious infrastructure failure during that period.

The building currently has four open violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports with HPD, showing non-compliance with housing maintenance code requirements from 2021 through 2024. Two illegal conversion complaints were filed in 2018, though inspections were unable to gain access to the property during both attempts. The property also has a documented issue with an illegally expanded curb cut, as evidenced by a November 2018 Environmental Control Board violation, though this was resolved without penalty.

In July 2021, there was a food establishment-related complaint regarding the kitchen/food prep area, which has since been administratively closed. All reported issues have been addressed through appropriate channels, though the recurring bedbug report violations suggest ongoing administrative challenges. The building's three-unit configuration and its 1960 construction date place it in a typical context for Elmhurst, though the documented history shows some periods of regulatory scrutiny and maintenance challenges.
