126-18 147th Street, Queens, NY 11436

The two-family residential building at 126-18 147th Street in South Ozone Park, owned by Geraldean Sartor, has a relatively small but notable history of pest-related issues since its construction in 1935. The most significant incident occurred in July 2019 when both the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and the Housing Maintenance Code division received complaints about pests creating unsanitary conditions in the building.

Unfortunately, inspectors were unable to gain access to conduct an inspection, and the case was closed with a note that a new complaint should be filed if the issues persisted. More recently, the building has demonstrated good pest management in terms of bedbug reporting.

The property has been consistently maintained over the past two reporting periods (2022-2023 and 2023-2024), with zero reported instances of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation of bedbugs in any dwelling units. This recent track record suggests improved management of pest control issues compared to the 2019 incident, though the inability of inspectors to access the property at that time remains a noteworthy event in the building's history.
