119-06 Newport Avenue, Queens, NY 11694

The three-unit, three-story building at 119-06 Newport Avenue in Rockaway Park, owned by David Pelaez, has experienced several notable incidents in recent years, particularly concerning heat and hot water issues. Most recently, in June 2024, there was a heat/hot water complaint that required intervention by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), although this issue was reportedly resolved within two days.

The property has also faced challenges with its heating system, as evidenced by two boiler-related complaints in late 2023 (September and October) that could not be addressed due to inspectors being unable to gain access, though these were subsequently marked as closed in late November 2023. The building has maintained an active record of compliance with bedbug reporting requirements between 2022-2023, with the most recent filing in May 2024 indicating no active infestations and successful eradication of three units, with no re-infestations.

However, the property has been cited for failure to submit annual bedbug reports in 2021, 2022, and 2023, receiving violations in each of these years. The building's recent history shows a pattern of heat-related issues that may affect resident comfort, though most violations appear to have been promptly addressed when reported. The bedbug situation seems to have stabilized, with the most recent reports showing proper reporting and eradication protocols being followed.
