86-45 Shore Parkway, Queens, NY 11414

The two-story, 80-unit residential building at 86-45 Shore Parkway in Howard Beach, built in 1958 and currently owned by Anthony Lavera, has experienced recurring heating system issues over recent years, with multiple complaints about lack of heat and hot water affecting the entire building. The most recent incident occurred in February 2024, while previous similar emergencies affected the building in March and April 2022, and February 2021, though in some cases, HPD was unable to access units for inspection or was informed that services had been restored.

The building also faced a rodent issue in May 2019, though a subsequent June 2019 inspection passed without violations. In 2021, the property received multiple Class A violations related to failing to file annual bedbug reports as required under the Housing Maintenance Code, though these violations have since been closed. A drainage-related complaint was filed in September 2023, but was determined to warrant no violation upon inspection in February 2024.

Notably, recent bedbug reporting for the period of November 2023 to October 2024 shows zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units, indicating effective management of this particular issue in recent years. While the heating system problems represent a recurring concern, the building appears to have maintained basic safety and maintenance standards, with most recent violations being addressed and closed. The property has demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements for the past several periods, suggesting improved attention to this health concern compared to earlier years.
