73-18 Yellowstone Blvd, Queens, NY 11375

The two-story, three-unit building at 73-18 Yellowstone Blvd in Rego Park, owned by Frank Bahar, has experienced several significant maintenance and health-related issues since its construction in 1997. The most recent concerns involve waste management, with a June 2024 complaint about unsanitary garbage/recycling storage that was inspected by HPD but resulted in no violations. A rodent-related incident occurred in August 2023, though follow-up inspections in October 2023 showed compliance.

The property has a documented history of sewage-related problems, including a notable January 2022 leak incident that was classified as an emergency, though subsequent inspections found no health code violations. In 2022, the building received multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations primarily related to safety regulation compliance, including requirements for smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector notices, proper building registration signage, and bedbug reporting obligations. All these violations were ultimately closed by June 2022.

The building's bedbug reporting history between 2019-2024 has consistently shown zero infested or re-infested units, indicating effective pest management. An illegal conversion complaint from December 2023 could not be investigated due to access issues. Despite these various incidents, most recent inspections have indicated general compliance with health and safety requirements, though the frequency of maintenance issues suggests ongoing attention to building upkeep is necessary.
