73-21 72nd Street, Queens, NY 11385

73-21 72nd Street is a two-story, four-unit residential building located in Glendale, Queens, that was constructed in 1905 and is classified as a New Law Tenement. The property owner, Ignazio Sausa, has maintained consistent bedbug reporting compliance over the past four years, with all filings showing no identified infestations or eradications in any units during the respective reporting periods from 2019 through 2024.

Despite this positive track record regarding bedbug management, the building experienced recurrent issues with unsanitary pigeon conditions in 2021, with three separate Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) complaints filed between May and July of that year, primarily concerning pigeon waste and odor. While initial inspections did not reveal violations, these complaints highlight potential concerns about building maintenance and environmental conditions.

The building has undergone regular statutory inspections, with four housing maintenance code violations recorded between 2021 and 2024, all pertaining to the failure to file the annual bedbug report as required by HPD regulations. However, these violations appear to have been addressed, as they are listed as "Close," and the most recent bedbug report filing from June 2024 suggests compliance with reporting requirements. The property has maintained an overall stable condition in recent years, with no reported bedbug infestations and the resolution of previous inspection violations, though the history of pigeon-related complaints from 2021 suggests some environmental maintenance challenges that prospective tenants should note.
