65-05 Fresh Pond Road, Queens, NY 11385

The 65-05 Fresh Pond Road property is a 2-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Charles Reina. The building has experienced several notable incidents related to safety and maintenance over the past four years.

In July 2022, there were safety concerns regarding the fire escape that resulted in both 311 service requests and housing maintenance code complaints, though inspectors were unable to gain access to assess the reported conditions. The building also had documented issues with bedbug reporting compliance, receiving violations in both 2021 and 2022 for failing to submit required annual reports, though records indicate no actual infestations occurred during the subsequent reporting periods from 2022 through the present, with all reports showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units. Additional historical data reveals a pattern of rodent inspection challenges in 2017, with two initial inspections in October and December resulting in failures for "Other Reasons," though there was one successful compliance inspection in April 2017.

While there was a complaint regarding illegal after-hours work in June 2022, this was investigated and determined to have no warrant for violation. The building's maintenance history shows a mixed record, with some safety violations being addressed and closed, though the inability to access the premises for fire escape inspection warrants attention. More positively, the consistent zero infestation status in recent bedbug reports suggests effective pest management practices, and the absence of recent rodent complaints since 2017 indicates potential improvement in this area.
