Bell Boulevard, Queens, NY 11361

The three-unit, two-story residential building located on Bell Boulevard in Bayside, owned by FB LLC and constructed in 1997, has experienced several noteworthy issues over recent years. Most concerning is the pattern of ongoing bedbug report violations, with open Class A violations recorded annually from 2021 through 2024, indicating non-compliance with the Housing Maintenance Code requirement to file annual bedbug reports with the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

These recurring violations suggest a persistent failure to meet mandated reporting requirements, though it is important to note that these violations relate to paperwork compliance rather than active infestations. The building has also experienced structural concerns, specifically regarding its retaining wall, with two separate complaints filed about bulging or cracking.

The most recent complaint was recorded in May 2023 and was promptly referred to the Department of Transportation, following a quick inspection that same month. A similar complaint was filed in September 2021, which was also referred to DOT after inspection in October 2021. While these structural issues appear to have been appropriately addressed by referring the concerns to the relevant authorities, the recurring nature of both the bedbug reporting violations and the retaining wall concerns warrants attention.
