214-32 36th Avenue, Queens, NY 11361

The two-family house at 214-32 36th Avenue in Bayside, owned by Isidoros Michalos, has experienced several noteworthy incidents since 2019, primarily related to unauthorized modifications and occupancy issues. In February 2019, the Department of Buildings received complaints regarding an illegal conversion and construction work, with inspectors reportedly unable to gain access to the property during two separate inspection attempts.

These complaints led to environmental violations, including one for unauthorized construction work at the cellar level in February 2019, where water and waste lines for a residential sink and common wash basin were installed without proper permits, resulting in a $1,250 penalty. More significantly, a violation was issued for converting, maintaining, or occupying the residence as a dwelling for more than the legally approved number of families (two families), for which a $2,500 penalty was imposed and remains active.

The building's bedbug reporting history shows no infestations during the filing period from November 2019 to October 2020, with zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units reported, indicating effective pest management during that time frame. Since these incidents, there have been no further documented complaints or violations through October 2023. The property, built in 1960, consists of two stories and was originally designed as a two-family house, with the most recent known unit configuration remaining consistent with its intended building class.
