73-22 Yellowstone Blvd, Queens, NY 11375

The two-family house at 73-22 Yellowstone Blvd in Rego Park, owned by Frank Bahar and constructed in 1997, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, particularly related to plumbing and heating systems. The most recent concerns, documented in May 2025, involved multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions related to pests, a broken window guard, and issues with window frames, though inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) found no violations of housing laws. The building faced significant heating and hot water system challenges in late 2023 and early 2024, with multiple complaints indicating problems affecting both individual apartments and the entire building.

These issues were eventually resolved, but required multiple follow-ups from HPD. Additional plumbing problems were reported in April 2024, including issues with radiators, water supply, and various sinks, all designated as emergency situations. The building's more recent history shows some improvement in infestation management, with no reported bedbug cases in the 2023-2024 or 2024-2025 reporting periods, though there were documented pest issues in 2025.

Earlier concerns about a certificate of occupancy and elevator service were investigated, with no violations found in 2024, while an elevator violation in 2020 was addressed. While many recent complaints have been promptly investigated and closed, the pattern of heating, plumbing, and pest issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The property remains classified as a two-family house with two stories.
