87-15 Dumont Avenue, Queens, NY 11417

The two-story, six-unit residential building at 87-15 Dumont Avenue in Ozone Park, owned by Lawrence Bernstein and constructed in 1977, has experienced several notable issues over the past decade, with the most recent concerns centering around regulatory compliance rather than urgent safety matters. The building has consistently maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all annual reports from 2019 through 2025 showing zero infested or eradicated units.

However, there are two active violations from 2023 related to failure to file external low-pressure inspections, with one dismissed violation from 2022 also on record. The property has a documented history of rodent issues, particularly evident between 2018-2019, with rat activity noted during initial inspections in July 2018, September 2019, and recorded 311 complaints about unsanitary conditions and pests in July 2018. Subsequent inspections in 2019 and 2023 passed compliance for rodent inspections.

The building's most recent complaint, from February 2025, regarding illegal commercial use in a residential zone, resulted in no violations being found upon inspection. While the historical pest issues might be concerning, it's worth noting that recent inspections have shown compliance, and there have been no documented infestations in the past five years, suggesting improved conditions. The property's regulatory compliance record, while needing attention to file deadlines, shows generally good maintenance of housing quality standards, with the most significant historical issues appearing to have been addressed through regular inspections and reporting requirements.
