24-05 Brookhaven Avenue, Queens, NY 11691

The two-family house at 24-05 Brookhaven Avenue in Far Rockaway, built in 2007 and currently owned by Ataul Chowdhury, has a notable history of pest-related issues, particularly in 2019. The most significant cluster of complaints occurred between April and June 2019, when multiple reports were filed regarding unsanitary conditions and pest problems, with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) identifying violations requiring attention to pest infestations.

Specifically, as of April 9, 2019, violation notices were issued for the second-floor apartment (2FLR) regarding infestations of roaches and mice, along with several maintenance issues including loose base cabinet doors and defective drawers in the kitchen, as well as the absence of required carbon monoxide detection devices. The building experienced ongoing pest-related complaints throughout 2019, with multiple 311 service requests and housing maintenance code violations linked to both rodent and insect issues.

These included reports of unsanitary conditions and conditions attracting rodents between April and October 2019. The situation showed some improvement, as evidenced by a passed compliance inspection for rodent issues in December 2019, though an initial inspection in September 2019 failed for unspecified reasons. Notably, there were no housing code violations or pest complaints recorded after December 2019, suggesting that the issues may have been resolved, though the last recorded inspection shows at least one open violation as of October 2023.
