111-58 Lefferts Boulevard, Queens, NY 11420

111-58 Lefferts Boulevard is a 2-story, 4-unit residential building in Richmond Hill, constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Piotr Wyrwas. The property has experienced recurring pest and sanitation issues over the past several years, with the most recent significant events occurring between 2020 and 2022.

Multiple complaints regarding unsanitary conditions and pests were filed in June 2022, though HPD was unable to gain access for inspection despite the seriousness of the issues. The building has faced ongoing rodent challenges, with documented sightings of rats and mice in 2020, and historical records from 2014 show numerous bait applications and inspections due to rodent activity. More recent concerns include open violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements from 2023 and 2024 inspections, indicating non-compliance with HPD rules requiring annual bedbug documentation.

In June 2022, aninspection found blocked access to a scuttle hatch and ladder, creating a potential safety concern that resulted in a violation notice, though this appears to have been resolved with no penalties. The building's history includes periods of both infestation and successful eradication of bedbugs, with the most recent complete infestation recorded in early 2022 affecting all 4 units, though the status remains somewhat ambiguous with indications of both eradication and re-infestation. While there have been various health and safety complaints over the years, including issues with garbage/recycling storage, these have generally been resolved without violations being issued.
