86-17 Lefferts Boulevard, Queens, NY 11418

The 86-17 Lefferts Boulevard property in Richmond Hill is a two-story, four-unit residential building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Yossi Assayag. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years, with particular attention required for the period from 2021 late through 2022, when multiple complaints were filed regarding various issues including window frames, plumbing (sink), cabinets, flooring/stairs, wall conditions, and unsanitary mold conditions.

While these complaints were resolved without violations being issued, they represent a cluster of maintenance concerns. More recently, from December 2022 through June 2023, there were two separate complaints regarding electric/gas ranges, which were also closed without violations. The building's violation history shows several open violations from December 2021 inspection that require attention, including requirements for proper notice posting regarding gas leak procedures, bedbug reporting, CO detector requirements, and specific maintenance responsibilities for the first-floor apartment 1F, including smoke detector repair and kitchen sink connections.

Historical records indicate a significant rodent problem between 2018 and 2019, with multiple inspections showing rat activity and bait application, though more recent bedbug reporting from April 2024 shows no infestations during the 2022-2023 period. The property has maintained its bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent report showing zero infested units. The building was built prior to modern safety standards, and while it has had various maintenance issues, most recent complaints have been resolved without violations being issued, though there are still several open violations from 2021 that require resolution.
