60-21 83rd Place, Queens, NY 11379

The three-family residential building at 60-21 83rd Place in Elmhurst, owned by Larry Wong, has experienced several significant maintenance and regulatory issues since 2021. Most notably, in July 2023, multiple violations were documented including unauthorized construction, safety code breaches, and occupancy issues.

These violations involved unpermitted cellar modifications including partitions and bathroom installations, obstructed passageways in the lobby and floors, non-self-closing exit doors on all floors, and evidence suggesting the building was being occupied by more than its legally authorized number of families. The owner was penalized $2,500 for the occupancy violation, though no penalties were imposed for the others. Between 2021 and 2024, the building underwent a pattern of annual bedbug reporting violations, with the most recent notice issued in April 2024, though all reports from 2021 through 2024 indicated zero infested units and successful eradication efforts.

The property has been subject to various Department of Buildings complaints, including a July 2023 construction enforcement complaint that warranted no violations upon inspection, and an April 2023 illegal conversion complaint that was ultimately closed in March 2025 with the vacate order fully rescinded. The building's bedbug reporting history shows consistent compliance in terms of reporting requirements, with no documented infestations or eradication needs across all reporting periods from 2019 through 2024. While historical bedbug issues appear to be resolved, the more recent safety and occupancy violations from mid-2023 represent the most significant concerns regarding the building's current condition and compliance status.
