85-53 80th Street, Queens, NY 11421
The two-family house at 85-53 80th Street in Woodhaven, built in 1920, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years, particularly during the latter half of 2023 and into 2024. Most notably, the building has faced recurring pest issues, with multiple complaints about rodents in mid-2024 leading to Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) involvement. Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) inspections in December 2023 uncovered multiple violations requiring attention, including issues with carbon monoxide detectors, unsanitary conditions, and evidence of mold.
The first-floor apartment (FirstF) has particularly documented problems, including violations for bedbug and roach infestations, water leaks, and various safety concerns such as a broken window guard. The property has shown some responsiveness to regulatory oversight, with some violations being certified as corrected by January 2024, including problems with plaster surfaces, water leaks, and carbon monoxide detectors. Most recent rodent inspections in 2024 indicate passing compliance as of September 2024, though an initial inspection in July 2024 noted rat activity.
The building's historical records reveal past maintenance issues dating back to 2018, including a documented mold problem, though the most pressing concerns appear to be concentrated in recent years. Two complaints from 2022 regarding posted notices and permit issues were ultimately determined to be unsubstantiated or corrected. The most recent bedbug reporting period (2023-2024) shows one unit requiring eradication, though no re-infestation was reported.
