84-27 85th Drive, Queens, NY 11421

The three-family residential building at 84-27 85th Drive in Woodhaven, owned by David Roman, has been in existence since 1915 and is currently classified as a HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A property. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past seven years, with particular concerns regarding unsanitary conditions. In 2018, multiple complaints were filed regarding mold and pests, including a rat sighting, though inspectors were unable to gain access to investigate these conditions at that time.

In early 2019, three separate emergency complaints were made regarding electrical wiring issues, flooring problems, and mold, all of which were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) but resulted in no violations being issued. Most notably, the building currently has four open Class A violations from 2021-2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations. The property has undergone minimal structural changes since its construction, maintaining its original three-story configuration.

A complaint regarding an illegal conversion was filed in August 2018, but inspectors found no violations warranting further action. While the building has experienced recurring issues with pests and unsanitary conditions, the lack of violations being issued for most complaints suggests that while there have been problems, they may not have reached the threshold requiring formal penalties. The building's most pressing current issue appears to be the failure to comply with bedbug reporting requirements, which has resulted in multiple open violations over the past three years.
