154-02 9th Avenue, Queens, NY 11357

154-02 9th Avenue in Whitestone is a three-story, four-unit residential building constructed in 1950 and currently owned by Pete Vecchio. The property has experienced several notable events in recent years, particularly concerning parking and bedbug management. Most significantly, in September 2024, the building received three Environmental Control Board violations related to unauthorized parking and a driveway installation at the rear of the property.

One violation, still active as of now, pertains to an unapproved driveway or parking pad installation with a penalty of $3,125. Another violation, which has been resolved, involved the parking of three motor vehicles with commercial license plates in a residential district, for which a penalty of $625 was imposed. The building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2023, with all recent filings (up to the December 2024 report) indicating no infested units, no units requiring eradication, and no instances of re-infestation.

Prior to these recent filings, the building received three Housing Maintenance Code violations between 2021 and 2023 for failing to file the annual bedbug report as required by HPD rules, though these violations have since been closed. A zoning-related complaint from March 2024, which resulted in an Oath violation being served in September 2024, is among the most recent administrative matters affecting the property. The building's most recent bedbug report for the period ending October 2024 shows no infestation issues, marking over two years of successful pest management compliance since the previous violations.
