68-41 Dartmouth Street, Queens, NY 11375

The property at 68-41 Dartmouth Street in Forest Hills, owned by Sandy Axelrad, is a two-story, three-unit residential building constructed in 1930. The building has a documented history of permit and compliance issues, particularly between 2020-2021, when multiple violations were recorded related to unauthorized modifications in the cellar level.

These violations, recorded under 35413922J, involved the construction of partition walls creating two rooms and an open space area, along with gas installations, all performed without proper permits. The building ownership, recorded as Dartmouth Street LLC, faced significant penalties totaling $12,500 across three separate ECB violations issued in 2020-2021 for failure to comply with the commissioner's order and for working without permits. While the building had significant compliance issues during 2020-2021, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in any of the three units over the past three reporting periods from 2022 to 2025, indicating proper pest control measures are in place.

The most recent environmental violation from 2021 appears to have been resolved, with the owners eventually obtaining a proper work permit (EW permit #421773806) issued on May 12, 2021, suggesting compliance with code requirements has improved since the earlier violations. A smoking violation reported in May 2020 was also addressed and closed. The building has maintained a clean record in recent years, with no major complaints or violations recorded since 2021, and the current bedbug reporting periods show no infestations or eradication efforts documented.
