40-21 201st Street, Queens, NY 11361

The two-story, three-unit residential building at 40-21 201st Street in Bayside, owned by John Devito, has a concerning pattern of open housing maintenance code violations over the past four years, all related to the requirement to file annual bedbug reports with the NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). These violations, documented in inspections conducted in April 2024, March 2023, March 2022, and April 2021, suggest ongoing non-compliance with city regulations regarding pest control reporting requirements, though they do not necessarily indicate an active bedbug infestation in the building.

The property, which was built in 1930 and has since been converted to a Class A dwelling, had one unrelated complaint in 2021 regarding inadequate fencing, which was investigated on October 7, 2021, and determined to warrant no violations. The most recent open violation from April 2024 remains unresolved as of July 2025, continuing the building's pattern of non-compliance with bedbug reporting requirements.

While the repeated nature of these violations and their recent persistence might raise concerns about the property's maintenance practices, it is important to note that these violations pertain specifically to reporting requirements rather than direct safety issues. The building's relatively small size (three units) and its classification as a converted Class A dwelling are also noteworthy, though they are common characteristics for this type of residential property in New York City.
