220-07 Merrick Boulevard, Queens, NY 11413

The two-story, 2-unit building at 220-07 Merrick Boulevard in Laurelton, Queens, was constructed in 1920 and is currently owned by 220-07 Merrick Blvd. Corp. The property has experienced several notable issues over the past few years, with the most recent incident occurring in March 2023 involving a heat and hot water complaint that could not be inspected by HPD due to access issues.

The building faced a significant period of maintenance challenges in 2018, with multiple complaints filed on September 10 concerning mold, water leaks, flooring, plumbing, and pest problems, though most of these inspections found no violations. More recent concerns include electrical issues in June 2022, with a violation for inadequate lighting in the public hall, and multiple violations from 2022 related to fire damage and pest infestations in various units (including apartments 2, 2F, and 2R), though many of these violations have since been closed. The building's maintenance history shows attention to both emergency and non-emergency issues, with several housing maintenance code violations documented between 2022-2024, including a 2023 violation for defective self-closing doors in the front entrance and Apartment 2F.

A significant 2022 violation required addressing bedbug infestation concerns, though subsequent filings in 2025 and previous years show no current infestations. The property underwent some emergency repairs in 2022 and 2023 related to heat, hot water, and electrical systems, though some violations remain open as of the latest inspections. It's worth noting that the building has maintained annual bedbug reporting requirements with no documented infestations in recent years, and has shown efforts to address various maintenance issues as they arise, with many past violations having been closed following required repairs or corrections.
