187-04 Hillside Avenue, Queens, NY 11432

The two-family residence at 187-04 Hillside Avenue, located in Hollis, is a two-story building owned by Ernsy Etienne and constructed in 1915. The building has a concerning and consistent pattern of housing maintenance code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with open violations recorded annually since 2021 through at least 2024.

These violations indicate the owner's failure to file the mandatory annual bedbug reports as required by HPD rules, suggesting potential lapses in building maintenance and pest management oversight. The property had rodent inspections in early 2015, starting with a failed initial inspection in January for unspecified reasons, followed by a successful compliance inspection in February of the same year, indicating some improvements in pest management capability at that time.

The most recent bedbug report violation in April 2024 remains unresolved as of the current date (July 2025), which is particularly notable given the potential impact on resident comfort and building maintenance standards. The building's violation history suggests a pattern of non-compliance with certain housing maintenance requirements, though it should be noted that bedbug reporting violations do not necessarily indicate an active infestation, merely the failure to submit required documentation. While the property was able to demonstrate compliance with rodent control requirements in 2015, the consistent pattern of bedbug reporting violations over recent years presents the most significant and ongoing compliance issue for this property.
