161-08 Baisley Boulevard, Queens, NY 11434

The 2-family house at 161-08 Baisley Boulevard in Jamaica, owned by Doyen Benjamin Davis and built in 2002, has experienced several significant issues over recent years that warrant attention. Most notably, there were multiple instances of failing to comply with vacate orders between 2020-2021, particularly during August and September 2021, when the first-floor level was found to be illegally occupied despite partial vacate orders. These violations led to multiple Environmental Control Board (ECB) penalties totaling $21,250 during 2021-2022, though records indicate these were ultimately resolved.

The building has also faced plumbing issues, with a water supply complaint investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development in August 2021, though no violations were found. A rat sighting was reported and investigated in June 2021, resulting in follow-up inspections, with a compliance inspection passing in December 2021. The property has had several safety-related concerns requiring attention, including electrical wiring issues as noted in a 2022 complaint.

Historical records show consistent challenges with compliance-related matters, particularly regarding the failure to certify corrections on immediately hazardous violations, though many of these were dismissed or resolved through payment of associated penalties. The most recent permits related to electrical work were issued in 2021 and 2022, suggesting ongoing maintenance of the building's systems. While many of the most serious violations appear to have been addressed or resolved, the pattern of compliance issues over multiple years indicates a history of maintenance and regulatory challenges that prospective tenants should be mindful of.
