39-34 Bell Boulevard, Queens, NY 11361

The two-family residential building at 39-34 Bell Boulevard in Bayside, Queens, is a two-story structure built in 1930, currently owned by Pine Green LLC. The property has experienced several notable issues over recent years, with particular concerns regarding its structural integrity and exterior maintenance.

In September 2021, a significant violation was documented regarding the building's facade, with inspectors noting multiple problems including dislodged and separated terracotta pieces, voids in stone connection joints, and a troubling horizontal crack above the second-floor window lintels. These issues were assessed as compromising the building's stability, particularly with concerns about rusted and corroded steel lintels. While an Environmental Control Board (ECB) violation was issued with a $625 penalty for failure to maintain building walls, this was eventually resolved with no balance due.

The building's management faced additional regulatory challenges, including a violation for failing to promptly certify corrections to an immediately hazardous violation, though this was later downgraded to a Class 2 or 3 violation and dismissed. A historical 311 complaint from January 2020 regarding food poisoning was deemed isolated upon investigation by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. While many of these violations have been addressed, the building's recent history suggests ongoing attention to exterior maintenance and regulatory compliance requirements has been necessary.
