86-80 Midland Parkway, Queens, NY 11432

The 3-unit, 3-story residential building at 86-80 Midland Parkway, owned by Yosi Shemtov and constructed in 2004, has experienced recurring sanitation and pest control issues over recent years. Most notably, between mid-2023 and mid-2024, there were multiple complaints about pests and garbage/recycling storage issues, all of which were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) but no violations were ultimately issued.

A period of rat sightings was recorded in August 2023, though the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene found no violations upon inspection. The building has an open Class A violation from April 2024 regarding the requirement to file an annual bedbug report, though no actual infestations have been reported in the most recent filings or in the previous two periods (2021-2022 and 2019-2020). The property has a history of various maintenance issues, including electrical problems (lighting and outlet/switch issues), and appliance concerns (electric/gas range), all of which were addressed and closed by HPD.

Several safety-related violations from September 2019 remain open, including requirements to post various safety and building information notices near the front entrance, as well as a violation regarding self-closing doors. The building has passed rodent inspections in both 2023 and 2018, suggesting some improvement in pest control compliance. Between 2018-2020, there were documented violations involving building entrance door issues and bedbug reporting requirements, though the most recent bedbug reporting filings indicate no current infestations.
