43-12 217th Street, Queens, NY 11361

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 43-12 217th Street in Bayside, owned by Anna Testani and constructed in 1970, has a notable history of regulatory compliance issues, particularly regarding bedbug reporting. The property has accumulated four consecutive open violations from 2021 through 2024, all related to failure to file the required annual bedbug reports as mandated by the Housing Maintenance Code.

These violations suggest ongoing oversights in pest management documentation, though they don't necessarily indicate an active infestation. Looking further back, the building has experienced several maintenance and safety concerns.

A 2001 violation was documented for the illegal use of a double cylinder lock on the first-floor apartment entrance, while two violations from 1990 highlighted safety issues in the public hall areas, including inadequate lighting and unauthorized storage of household items in the stairwell. More recently, in 2018, there was an Environmental Control Board violation concerning improper front yard modifications that replaced required planting areas with concrete for parking purposes, although this was resolved with a $500 penalty. While the bedbug reporting violations are the most pressing current issue, the building's historical violation record shows a pattern of maintenance and safety concerns that have required regulatory attention over the years.
