89-04 Gold Road, Queens, NY 11417

The two-story, six-unit residential building at 89-04 Gold Road in Ozone Park, owned by Lawrence Bernstein and constructed in 1977, has experienced several notable issues in recent years. Most concerning was a mold-related unsanitary condition reported to the Housing Preservation and Development department in October 2018, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the problem.

The building has also faced challenges with compliance requirements, particularly regarding bedbug reporting; violations were issued in 2022 and 2024 for failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations. A current violation exists as of June 2023 related to the failure to file the 2021 external low-pressure inspection, which remains active as of October 2023. On a positive note, the building has maintained a clean record regarding actual bedbug infestations, with all annual reports from 2018 through 2025 showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units.

The most recent bedbug report for the period ending October 2024, filed in June 2025, continued this trend of no infestations. While the building has had some regulatory compliance issues, particularly around bedbug reporting and safety inspections, there have been no documented patterns of persistent resident health or safety concerns. The prompt resolution of the 2018 mold complaint (despite the initial access issue) and the complete absence of bedbug infestations over multiple years suggest an otherwise stable living environment, though the active violation for the 2021 low-pressure inspection requires attention.
