85-43 Eliot Avenue, Queens, NY 11374

The four-story, seven-unit building at 85-43 Eliot Avenue in Elmhurst, owned by Frank Bahar and constructed in 1999, has experienced several notable events regarding pest management over recent years. The property had a rodent inspection in late 2017 which resulted in a failed initial inspection in November, though a subsequent compliance inspection in December passed.

Between 2019 and 2024, the building maintained a clean record with no reported incidents of bedbug infestations, as evidenced by the annual bedbug reports filed consistently from 2019 through 2024 showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units. The building experienced a pest-related complaint in September 2021, which prompted an inspection by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), though no violations were recorded from this inspection.

This complaint, classified as an unsanitary condition, was closed by September 19, 2021. Two Housing Maintenance Code violations were issued in 2021 and 2022 respectively, both related to the failure to file the annual bedbug report, though there is no record of these violations affecting the current status. The most recent inspection and reporting periods, covering 2023-2025, show consistent compliance with the bedbug reporting requirements, with no reported infestations or eradication efforts, suggesting the building has effectively managed its pest control obligations in recent years.
