72-18 Forest Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

72-18 Forest Avenue is a 2-story, 4-unit residential building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Thomas Gonzalez. The property has experienced recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance, with open violations noted in 2022, 2023, and most recently in April 2024, all relating to the failure to file the annual bedbug report as required by the Housing Maintenance Code.

While the building's official bedbug filings from 2019-2020 showed no infested units, there seems to be an ongoing administrative issue with report submissions. The Department of Buildings has two notable complaint records from August 2020, one regarding unauthorized plumbing work that couldn't be verified due to access issues, and another that did not warrant a violation at the time of inspection.

The building's pest control history shows a concerning pattern with rodent inspections in 2013, where one initial inspection failed for unspecified reasons, though this was followed by passing results in subsequent years (2014, 2017, and 2021). A building permit for alteration was issued in April 2021, suggesting some level of maintenance or improvement work was performed. The structure's age and designation as a "New Law Tenement" indicate it is subject to specific regulatory requirements for maintenance and tenant protections, though the open bedbug reporting violations are the most significant ongoing compliance issues noted in the available records.
