9-20 166th Street, Queens, NY 11357
The 8-story, 32-unit residential building at 9-20 166th Street in Whitestone, owned by Margaret Costello, has a documented history dating back to its 1958 construction. The building has faced several notable issues over recent years, particularly concerning elevator safety and defects. In 2020, the building was cited for not having the required door lock monitoring system installed in the elevator controller, though this violation was resolved with a $1,250 penalty.
Multiple complaints regarding the elevator's single-device operation with no alternate service were logged in 2020 and 2022, with inspections finding no violations. More recent activity in 2025 has included three safety inspections, one in response to reports of unlicensed work, though no violations were found in any of these inspections. The building has experienced some maintenance challenges, including a significant water leak in 2022 that was documented as an emergency but resolved without violations.
There is currently one active DOB violation from 2020 regarding failure to certify correction of an immediately hazardous condition. On a positive note, the building has maintained a pristine pest control record, with no bedbug infestations reported in any of the mandatory annual filings from 2019 through 2024. The most recent bedbug reports from 2024 show zero infested units. The property completed a permitted job in 2018, and all reported violations have been generally addressed, though some took considerable time to resolve.
