15402 Powells Cove Blvd, Queens, NY 11357

The three-unit, three-story building at 15402 Powells Cove Blvd in Whitestone, owned by Nilda Cruz and constructed in 1930, has a significant pattern of recurring bedbug reporting violations over the past four years. Between 2021 and 2024, the property accumulated four Class A Housing Maintenance Code violations related to the failure to file the required annual bedbug reports with the NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development. These violations remain open as of the latest inspection in April 2024.

The building also underwent multiple permit issuances between 2019 and 2021, primarily for plumbing and excavation work, with the most recent being issued on December 8, 2021, under job number 421666236. A rodent inspection conducted in July 2016 resulted in a passing grade, indicating no rodent issues at that time. The property has experienced limited external issues, with only one complaint recorded in April 2020 regarding temporary construction equipment adjacent to the property, which was promptly resolved through an Oath violation service.

An Environmental Control Board violation related to construction site fencing was issued in April 2020 but was marked as resolved with no penalties imposed. The building appears to have maintained compliance with basic safety standards, as evidenced by the absence of major structural or safety violations on record, though the recurring bedbug report violations represent a notable concern regarding property management adherence to housing code requirements. The cumulative nature of the bedbug report violations over multiple years suggests an ongoing oversight issue that has persisted despite multiple notifications from housing authorities.
