85-33 Lefferts Boulevard, Queens, NY 11415

The three-unit residential building at 85-33 Lefferts Boulevard in Richmond Hill, owned by Lefferts Lin LLC, has experienced notable bedbug issues over recent years, particularly evident in the 2023 bedbug report filing from August 2023, which documented infestations in all three units during the 2021-2022 reporting period, with all units subsequently treated and eradicated, though records indicate some re-infestation. While the most recent bedbug report from March 2024 shows no current infestations for the 2022-2023 reporting period, this follows a pattern of previous infestations and outbreaks, raising concerns about the building's pest management history.

The building, constructed in 1987 and classified as a Class A residence, has received two Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements: one in March 2023 and another in April 2021, both of which have been closed. These violations were specifically related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations.

The bedbug reporting history shows a significant improvement in the most recent filing period (2022-2023), with the March 2024 report indicating zero infested units and no need for eradication measures, which suggests some progress in pest control protocols. Prior to this, there were consistent reports of bedbug incidents from 2019 through 2023, including three infestations in the 2021-2022 period, and re-infestation noted in the 2023 report. The building's ownership and management have demonstrated periodic compliance with pest reporting requirements, though there have been lapses that required regulatory intervention between 2021 and 2023.
