166-41 Powells Cove Blvd, Queens, NY 11357

The 8-story, 32-unit residential building at 166-41 Powells Cove Blvd, built in 1958 and currently owned by Stanley Greenberg, has experienced several notable incidents in recent years. Most significantly, there has been an ongoing pattern of pest-related complaints in 2024, with three separate reports in June alone, though all were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and resulted in no violations being issued. The building underwent facade repair work in 2022-2023 that generated multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) complaints and violations, including issues with suspended scaffolds and public safety concerns, though many of these were subsequently resolved or dismissed.

The work without permit violation from August 2023 resulted in a stop work order, though this was eventually rescinded. The building's history features various other maintenance and compliance issues, including documented structural concerns in 2023 related to building shaking/vibrating, though inspections found no violations. The property is subject to Local Law 188/17 inspections, with recent compliance inspections completed in 2023 finding no violations. Notably, the building has maintained an excellent record regarding bedbugs, with no reported infestations in any of the annual reporting periods from 2018 to 2024.

While there have been several violations recorded by DOB over the years, most have been resolved through proper corrective actions, and the building has shown responsiveness to regulatory requirements, as evidenced by the closure of multiple complaints without penalties or with penalties fully resolved. The building's management has demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, consistently reporting zero infestations or eradications since 2019. The most recent permit activity dates back to 2019, with various permits issued for work performed under job number 421614809, including electrical and plumbing work. The property's maintenance record shows a mix of resolved violations and complaints, with the 2024 pest complaints being the most recurring issue in recent months, though these have been addressed through official inspection processes.
