76-04 249th Street, Queens, NY 11426

The building at 76-04 249th Street, owned by Robert Friedrich, is a two-story, 112-unit garden/maisonette structure built in 1948 in Bellerose. The property has experienced recurring rodent issues, with the most recent inspection in June 2025 showing rat activity, following a pest-related complaint in June 2025 that resulted in violations.

Previous rodent complaints in October 2024 had mixed outcomes, with one inspection showing no violations but another citing earlier complaints. In March 2024, multiple non-emergency maintenance issues were reported and inspected by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), including concerns about flooring, walls, cabinets, and bathtub/shower facilities, though no violations were found in these cases.

The building had a significant electrical safety violation in May 2020 related to unapproved and potentially unsafe electrical equipment and wiring, which was ultimately resolved with a penalty of $1,600. Earlier complaints from 2021 included a slow water leak issue that HPD was unable to inspect due to access problems, as well as a mouse sighting that went unverified for the same reason. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of pest-related issues, with the most recent concerns emerging in mid-2025, despite some passing inspections and closed complaints in 2024.
