81-51 Woodhaven Boulevard, Queens, NY 11385

The three-story, six-unit New Law tenement building at 81-51 Woodhaven Boulevard in Forest Hills, owned by Robert Piritsch and constructed in 1931, has experienced several notable events in recent years. Most concerning is an ongoing Department of Health (DOHMH) investigation as of May 2025 regarding potentially hazardous beekeeping activities involving honeybees on the property.

The building has two outstanding Housing Maintenance Code violations from April 2024 and March 2023 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports with HPD, though it's worth noting that the building has maintained a consistent record of zero bedbug infestations or eradications in its official filings from 2018 through 2021. Additionally, there was a boiler inspection-related violation issued in November 2019 for failing to submit the 2017 inspection report, which was ultimately dismissed in October 2022.

The building's bedbug reporting history from 2018-2021 shows no infestations or related issues in any of the four annual filings, suggesting effective pest management during that period. While the current bee-related complaint and the open bedbug reporting violations from 2023-2024 are the most significant current issues, it's important to note the building's previous adherence to bedbug reporting requirements and the dismissal of the boiler inspection violation, which may indicate generally responsive property management, at least in historical context.
