89-15 73rd Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

89-15 73rd Avenue is a 2-story, 52-unit residential building located in Glendale, Queens, and owned by Martin Kalt. The property, constructed in 1950, has experienced ongoing rodent-related issues, with two rat sighting complaints in 2023 (April and July) though both inspections resulted in no violations.

The building underwent a significant period of maintenance concerns in March 2019, with multiple violations issued for various issues including plumbing (bathtub/shower and basin/sink), flooring, door/window problems, and unsanitary conditions related to pests. These violations primarily affected the second-floor apartment (2FL) and included problems with floor tiles, cabinet repairs, door frames, and a confirmed bedbug infestation, though all these violations were eventually closed. Recent developments include an Environmental Control Board violation from November 2023 regarding unauthorized commercial vehicle parking in the residential lot, though no penalties were imposed.

The building's management has maintained consistent bedbug reporting compliance since 2019, showing no infested units or re-infestations in the past four reporting periods. Rodent inspections in 2023 (May and August) both passed, indicating improved conditions in this regard. The building has a history of various maintenance issues requiring attention, particularly in 2019, but recent records show fewer reported problems, though there remain recent complaints about rat sightings and a commercial vehicle parking violation.
