70-14 Eliot Avenue, Queens, NY 11379

At 70-14 Eliot Avenue in Middle Village, a 7-unit, 2-story residential building owned by Doina Savu, several significant events have occurred over recent years that warrant attention. The building has faced recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance, receiving annual violations from 2021 through 2024 for failing to file the necessary annual bedbug reports as required under Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) regulations, though recent filings show no current infestations.

The most recent bedbug report from May 2024 indicates no infested units from November 2022 to October 2023, while the 2022 report documented eradication of all 7 infested units from November 2020 to October 2021, suggesting a previous bedbug issue that was successfully addressed. In September 2020, two complaints regarding unpermitted work in the occupied multiple dwelling were filed, leading to an Environmental Control Board (ECB) violation for construction of an unauthorized structure in the rear yard that exceeded height and lot line restrictions, comprising unfinished walls, floor, roof, and combustible wood materials.

This violation, while initially resulting in an inspection with no penalties, had a subsequent failure to certify correction in November 2020, though this particular violation was later dismissed by July 2021. The building's history shows a pattern of regulatory compliance issues primarily related to bedbug reporting, with the most recent violations now resolved but indicating a need for continued attention to maintenance code compliance.
