90-20 80th Street, Queens, NY 11421

The 2-story, 5-unit residential building at 90-20 80th Street in Woodhaven, owned by Tosa Caran, has been in operation since 1930 and is classified as a HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A building. The property has faced several maintenance and safety issues over the past few years, with the most recent concerns involving a window guard safety issue in 2021, mold complaints in 2020, and a heat/hot water problem in 2019, though in each instance, inspectors were unable to gain access for verification.

A significant cluster of violations was documented in December 2021, including failure to properly notify occupants about lead-based paint hazards and multiple safety notice requirements related to gas leaks, carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and building registration information. In March 2022, an inspection revealed the building had not filed the required annual bedbug report, suggesting potential oversight of pest management protocols. The building's maintenance history shows some improvements in recent years, with no documented bedbug infestations reported in the last three annual filings (2022-2025).

However, a concerning pattern of access issues for inspections and complaint investigations has emerged, with inspectors frequently unable to gain entry to verify reported problems. Most recently, in August 2024, there was a complaint regarding illegal commercial use in a residential zone, though inspectors were again unable to access the property for verification. As of the latest data available through 2025, the building appears to have maintained regular bedbug management practices, with all recent reports showing zero infested units.
