61-09 Catalpa Avenue, Queens, NY 11385
The four-story, eight-unit building at 61-09 Catalpa Avenue in Glendale, owned by Gerard Repole, has experienced several concerning rodent-related issues in recent years, most notably with a rat sighting reported in August 2024 that resulted in Health Department violations requiring follow-up inspections, and another rat sighting in June 2022 that similarly resulted in violations and required follow-up inspections.
The property currently has an active Department of Buildings violation dating from June 2023 regarding the failure to file the 2021 external low-pressure inspection. While the building has maintained a consistent record of zero bedbug infestations over multiple annual reporting periods from 2019 through 2025 - with the most recent reports from January 2025 indicating no infested or eradicated units - the rodent issues are concerning.
The most recent compliance inspection in February 2025 passed without issues, but previous inspections noted rat activity in October 2024 and August 2022, suggesting an ongoing concern with pest management despite some improvements. The building's age (constructed in 1930) and tenure as a "New Law Tenement" are historical designations that reflect its long-standing presence in the neighborhood.
