94-79 218th Street, Queens, NY 11428

The three-story residential building at 94-79 218th Street in Queens Village, constructed in 2006 and currently owned by Erez Levy, has experienced several significant maintenance issues throughout its history, with the most notable cluster of problems occurring in October 2018. During this period, there were multiple interconnected complaints involving water leaks (both heavy flow and slow leaks), plumbing issues with bathtubs/showers, ceiling paint/plaster problems, sanitary concerns including mold and pest infestations, and electrical lighting issues.

These complaints led to the issuance of several Housing Maintenance Code violations, including a Class B violation regarding defective fire egress in the first-floor apartment and a Class C violation related to lead-based paint hazards in the bathroom. Since those 2018 issues, the building has shown improvements in certain areas, particularly with bedbug control, as evidenced by the bedbug reporting records from 2021 to 2025, which indicate minimal infestation history.

The most recent bedbug filings (2022-2025) show no reported infestations, with the last known incident being in 2020-2021 when one unit was infested and subsequently eradicated. The building has maintained regular bedbug reporting compliance, filing reports consistently and showing no repeat infestations. While the building had significant maintenance issues in 2018, the records suggest improved conditions in recent years, with no new major violations or complaints of the same nature recorded since the 2018 cluster of issues was addressed.
