105-48 Farmers Boulevard, Queens, NY 11412

The two-family house at 105-48 Farmers Boulevard in St. Albans, owned by Janice Joseph, has experienced several significant regulatory issues in recent years. Most notably, in 2019, the property faced multiple violations related to illegal conversion and occupancy beyond the legally authorized limit.

These violations, documented in October 2019, included unauthorized occupancy of an attic level bedroom, illegal plumbing and gas line installations on the first and second floors, and a violation for converting and maintaining the residence as a dwelling for more than the legally approved number of families. While some of these violations were later resolved, an active ECB violation remains on record as of the latest available data, with a penalty of $2,500 imposed for improper occupancy practices. The property has also undergone some enforcement actions related to compliance issues: in March 2020, a violation was issued for failure to comply with a commission's order, though this was subsequently resolved without penalties.

A separate DOB violation from February 2020, concerning failure to certify correction on an immediately hazardous ECB violation, was dismissed in September 2020. More recently, the building has maintained a clean record in terms of pest control, with bedbug reports for the period from November 2021 to October 2022 showing no infestations or eradications required. Given the age of the building (constructed in 1920), the regulatory history suggests attention should be paid to ensure proper maintenance of building systems and compliance with occupancy regulations, though the most recent five-year period shows no new major violations or safety concerns.
