86-73 78th Street, Queens, NY 11421

The three-unit, two-story residential building at 86-73 78th Street in Woodhaven, owned by Jose Mancancela and constructed in 1931 as an Old Law Tenement, has maintained a concerning pattern of administrative violations over the past four years. Most notably, there is an ongoing series of open Class A violations all related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by the Housing Maintenance Code; these violations have been cited in 2021, 2022, 2023, and most recently in April 2024, indicating non-compliance with mandatory pest reporting requirements.

While no specific bedbug infestations have been documented in the violation notices themselves, the recurrence of these violations suggests potential oversight in building maintenance protocols. On a more positive note, the building appears to have had one permit issued in 2020 (job number 421464953) with an approved status, though the nature and scope of the work was not specified in the available data.

This permit issuance represents the only recorded construction or maintenance activity on file for the past five years. Given the age of the building and its classification as an Old Law Tenement, ongoing maintenance and compliance with housing regulations is critical to maintain resident safety and comfort.
