153-49 77th Road, Queens, NY 11367

The three-family residential building at 153-49 77th Road in Kew Gardens Hills, owned by David Weisz, has undergone several significant inspections and violations since its construction in 1980. Most notably, from 2021 to 2024, the building received recurring violations for failure to file annual bedbug reports, though these violations were eventually closed. The property faced substantial issues in 2018, including multiple Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations related to unauthorized construction, occupancy concerns, and failure to comply with corrective orders.

These violations resulted in penalties totaling $4,975, though records indicate they were resolved. The building underwent unauthorized modifications, including the installation of bathroom facilities and partition walls in the cellar and second/third floors, which led to multiple violations of Building Code Section 28-201.1 regarding illegal dwelling conversions. Between 2019 and 2020, there were several complaints regarding professional certification compliance audits, and while some violations were dismissed upon inspection, others were resolved through compliance.

It's worth noting that the building has consistently demonstrated compliance with bedbug management requirements since 2021, with the most recent report for 2024-2025 showing zero instances of infestation. The property received permits in 2018 for plumbing and electrical work under job number 421655907, which were subsequently issued in August 2018. While there have been various violations and compliance issues over the years, the most recent bedbug reports and permit records suggest improved maintenance practices, though the history of unauthorized modifications and related violations remains a significant aspect of the building's compliance history.
