86-11 101st Street, Queens, NY 11418

86-11 101st Street is a three-unit, three-story New Law tenement building constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Joseph Lelay. The building has experienced several significant issues in recent years, most notably a July 2024 incident involving pest infestations in apartment 3, which resulted in multiple HPD violations and a subsequent inspection that revealed multiple health and safety concerns. These included open violations for lead-based paint hazards affecting ceilings and walls in various rooms, as well as issues with pest infestation that remain unresolved as of October 2023.

The inspection also revealed problems with a carbon monoxide detector that has since been closed. Additional maintenance issues were documented in December 2024, including plumbing concerns related to radiators and window frame problems, both designated as emergency situations. The building has a documented history of illegal conversion complaints in 2018 and 2021, though inspections were either unable to gain access or found no violations warranting further action.

It is worth noting that while the building had multiple pest-related complaints in mid-2024, subsequent filings for the 2023-2025 bedbug reporting periods have consistently indicated no infestation issues. The property has experienced recurring maintenance concerns over the years, with violations related to various building systems and safety features, though many of these have been addressed and closed. The most recent documented issues primarily center around apartment 3, which has been the subject of multiple complaints and violations regarding lead paint, pests, and general maintenance concerns.
