83-35 Parsons Boulevard, Queens, NY 11432

The two-family house at 83-35 Parsons Boulevard in Jamaica Hills, owned by James Demetriou, has experienced several notable health and safety incidents over recent years. Most concerning are three food poisoning complaints filed in early 2025 (February and March), which the NYC Health Department determined to be isolated incidents, though they prompted some regulatory attention.

Additionally, there were related issues with rodents and insects/garbage reported in April 2025, requiring DOHMH intervention. The building's mechanical systems have been a recurring compliance concern, with active violations dating from January 2020 regarding unfiled annual boiler inspection reports from 2017, and multiple violations from November 2018 concerning an unregistered Weil McLain gas-fired boiler and missing control covers, though these violations have since been resolved with no penalties imposed.

On a more positive note, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, as evidenced by zero reported cases in the mandatory filings for 2023-2024 and 2022-2023. The property has also demonstrated responsiveness to regulatory requirements, as shown by the issuance of an exterior work permit in November 2018, though this appears to be unrelated to the building's current health and safety challenges. While most recent health department interactions have been resolved, the pattern of food safety complaints and boiler-related violations suggests areas requiring continued monitoring for resident comfort and safety, though no active penalties are currently outstanding.
