95-18 87th Street, Queens, NY 11416

The three-story, three-unit building at 95-18 87th Street in Ozone Park, owned by Alfredo Battaglia and constructed in 2007, has a concerning pattern of open housing maintenance code violations related to annual bedbug reporting requirements. Since 2021, the property has received four consecutive violations (2021, 2022, 2023, and most recently in April 2024) for failing to file the mandatory annual bedbug report as required by HPD rules.

These violations are classified as "Class A," indicating they are serious but not immediately hazardous. In addition to these ongoing bedbug reporting issues, the building had a significant safety violation in June 2021 when the Environmental Control Board found a missing protective fence at the rear of the building (approximately 5 feet high), creating a high fall hazard.

This violation, which carried a penalty of $3,125, was ultimately resolved. The building also experienced some unrelated complaints in 2021 - one regarding unauthorized work in an occupied multiple dwelling, and another concerning an inadequate or illegal fence, though the latter was found to be unsubstantiated based on department records. A violation was also issued in September 2021 for failure to certify correction of the hazardous fence violation, though this was later dismissed in November 2024 after the associated penalty was paid.
