69-33 Bayfield Avenue, Queens, NY 11692

The two-family house at 69-33 Bayfield Avenue in Arverne, owned by Salvatore D'Avola, has experienced a number of significant events over the past decade that merit attention. Most concerning are the two complaints in 2022 and 2021 regarding the building being vacant, open, and unguarded (at an address of 11692), both of which were referred to the NYC Housing Authority (NYCHA), with official inspections occurring on March 4 of both years.

The building's rodent inspection history shows some inconsistencies, with failures noted in both 2016 and 2009 (for unspecified reasons), although more recent inspections in 2018, 2014, and earlier in 2013 resulted in passing grades. The permit history for the property indicates active maintenance and improvement work, particularly in 2022 and 2024, with multiple permits issued for both alteration (AL) and emergency work (EW).

Notably, four permits were issued in 2022 alone across different sequences (two each for AL and EW), with an additional two permits being issued in 2024. The recent permit activity, particularly the work carried out in 2024, suggests ongoing investment in the property's maintenance and improvement. However, the building's open/vacant status in 2021 and 2022 and the rodent inspection failures from previous years indicate historical challenges that prospective tenants should be aware of, while the more recent permits suggest efforts to address these issues.
