86-44 56th Avenue, Queens, NY 11373

The three-story, 15-unit building at 86-44 56th Avenue in Elmhurst, owned by Salvatore Salta, was constructed in 1991 and has experienced several notable events over recent years. Most significantly, there has been a recurring issue with pest control and bedbug compliance requirements, with the building receiving four violations between 2021 and 2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports as mandated by the Housing Maintenance Code.

The building had documented pest problems in mid-2020, though an HPD inspection found no violations at that time. In terms of recent maintenance and compliance matters, there are two electrical wiring complaints from early 2025 that were referred to the Department of Transportation, and a 2021 violation related to work without a permit for installing an air conditioning unit and associated electrical work, which resulted in a $620 penalty that has since been resolved. The building's bedbug reporting history shows a relatively positive trend in recent years, with no reported infestations or required eradications between 2021 and 2024.

The only documented infestation occurred in 2019-2020, affecting two units, though records indicate successful eradication of the pests. The property's maintenance record demonstrates regular compliance with reporting requirements in recent years, showing proactive management of pest control matters despite the earlier violations. While there have been various service requests and violations over the years, the most recent bedbug reports suggest improved conditions, with no current evidence of ongoing pest issues as of 2024.
