64-62 Booth Street, Queens, NY 11374

The 18-unit residential building at 64-62 Booth Street in Rego Park, owned by Daniel Roufail, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past few years. Most notably, there have been recurring rodent problems, with the most recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 showing rat activity, though the building passed a compliance inspection in April 2025.

In 2024, there was also an active violation related to the failure to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection. Between 2019 and 2020, the building experienced multiple heat and hot water outages affecting the entire building, with emergency complaints filed through HPD in November and December 2020, though these issues were reportedly resolved through tenant confirmation. The building's bedbug reports, however, show consistent compliance with no infestations reported over the past eight filing periods, from 2018-2019 through the most recent filing in December 2024.

This suggests effective pest management, though it should be noted that two consecutive annual violations were issued in 2022 and 2023 regarding the filing of annual bedbug reports, which were subsequently addressed. It's worth noting that the building's age (built in 1950) and three-story configuration are typical for the Rego Park neighborhood. The property has maintained active compliance status for its 311 service requests, with recent rodent complaints being responded to promptly by health authorities, and it has generally followed proper procedures for addressing violations when they occur.
