68-59 Exeter Street, Queens, NY 11375

The three-story, four-unit multi-family building at 68-59 Exeter Street in Forest Hills, owned by David Sonbolian, has a mixed record of maintenance and safety issues since its 1930 construction. Most recently, the building has faced ongoing animal-related concerns, with multiple complaints filed with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) between December 2020 and February 2021 reporting unsanitary conditions including animal waste, odors, and illegal farm animals kept as pets.

These complaints remain unresolved as of October 2023. The building has also had issues with bedbug reporting compliance, with three violations documented in 2021, 2022, and 2023, each noting non-filing of required annual bedbug reports. However, the most recent bedbug reporting period (November 2022 - October 2023) indicates no infested units, successful eradication efforts, and no re-infestations.

While the property was subject to rodent inspections in 2010, with one failed initial inspection and a subsequent pass, this issue has not been revisited in recent years. The building's violations and complaints suggest persistent challenges with both pest management and animal-related concerns, though the most recent bedbug report indicates improved management of that particular issue. The ongoing status of the animal-related complaints, which remain "In Progress," is a notable current concern.
