79-78 77th Road, Queens, NY 11385

This two-story, four-unit residential building located at 79-78 77th Road in Glendale was constructed in 1960 and is currently owned by Ravishankar Rameswar. The property has experienced several notable maintenance issues over the past several years, with a pattern of standing water problems on the roof documented through three separate Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) complaints between August and October 2018. The building has also faced recurring bedbug reporting violations, with failure to file annual reports noted in 2018, 2021, 2022, and most recently in April 2024.

Additional safety concerns were identified in early 2018, when multiple violations were recorded in apartment 2B, including issues with window guards, smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, bathroom fixtures, and a defective sink waste line. A door closure issue in the building's common area was documented as a class C violation in 2021. More recent activity shows improved compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent filings (2024-2025) indicating zero infested or previously infested units.

The building underwent Compliance Inspections in 2023 under Local Law 188/17, with no violations recorded, and a Work Without a Permit complaint from 2020 was closed due to inspector inability to gain access. The property has also maintained a regular schedule of submitting bedbug reports since 2022, consistently showing zero infestation cases across the reporting periods. The building's violation history suggests significant past maintenance and safety issues, particularly in 2018, though more recent records indicate improved conditions and compliance with safety requirements.
