13-12 Dinsmore Avenue, Queens, NY 11691

The three-unit, three-story residential building at 13-12 Dinsmore Avenue in Far Rockaway, owned by Yehuda Ornstein, has had several notable health and safety-related incidents since its construction in 2004. Most recently, in April 2024, the property received an open Class A violation from Housing Maintenance Code regarding the failure to file the required annual bedbug report with HPD, a recurring issue noted in each year from 2021 through 2023.

The building experienced rodent-related incidents in 2021, with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene confirming violations in April 2021, though another inspection that same month found no violations. The property has a documented history of rodent inspections, passing an initial inspection in May 2010, but the recent rodent complaints in 2021 marked a concerning period for pests.

On a more positive note, the building's bedbug reporting record from July 2023 covers the period from November 2021 to October 2022, showing zero infested or re-infested units, and indicating that no units required eradication during this period. While the property has had multiple bedbug report violations on record, the absence of actual infestations during this specific reporting period may suggest compliance with eradication protocols when necessary. The building's relatively recent construction (2004) suggests it should generally meet modern housing standards, though the pattern of violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements and the 2021 rodent incidents indicate some ongoing challenges with pest management and compliance.
