21-19 Mott Avenue, Queens, NY 11691

The three-story, four-unit residential building at 21-19 Mott Avenue in Far Rockaway, owned by Anita Patel, has undergone several significant events in recent years. Most notably, in November 2023, the building experienced serious structural issues including vibrations and a subsequent partial evacuation order, leading to a violation for structural non-compliance due to fire damage.

The fire incident resulted in substantial damage including a partially collapsed ceiling, charred beams, and compromised staircase, and triggered a violation for failing to submit an acceptable inspection report for the structurally compromised building, though this was later dismissed in July 2025 when the proper report was finally accepted. The building's maintenance history also shows recurring bedbug report violations in 2021 and 2022, though these appear to be administrative in nature rather than indicative of an infestation problem.

Notably, all subsequent bedbug reports from 2019 through 2025 show zero infested units, suggesting effective resolution of any prior concerns. More recent complaints, including one about building shaking/vibration in November 2023, were investigated but resulted in no violations being warranted at the time of inspection, except for the previously mentioned structural violation.
