86-18 60th Road, Queens, NY 11373

The 7-unit, 4-story building at 86-18 60th Road in Elmhurst, owned by Vincent Lo and constructed in 2009, has experienced several noteworthy incidents throughout its history. Most recently, in 2025, there were multiple complaints regarding potential work without permits and maintenance issues, with inspectors unable to gain access during final attempts to verify the complaints.

A significant environmental control board violation from 2021 noted the altered building was being occupied without a valid Certificate of Occupancy, specifically citing first-floor areas being used as a worship place with various furniture and equipment, resulting in a $625 penalty. The building's recent history shows relatively consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no infested units reported in the past five annual filings from 2019 to 2024. Between 2019 and 2021, there was a cluster of safety-related complaints including concerns about fire escapes, window guards, elevator maintenance, and sprinklers, though inspections during that period found no violations.

A 2022 inspection revealed the building's failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations. While there have been multiple Department of Buildings complaints regarding work without permits and maintenance issues in 2024-2025, most of these cases ended with inspectors being unable to gain access for verification. The building has shown consistent efforts to address violations when identified, as evidenced by multiple permit issuances between 2018 and 2022 for various types of work.
