96-40 42nd Avenue, Queens, NY 11368

The two-story, three-unit residential building at 96-40 42nd Avenue in Corona, owned by Ai Ping Chen, has been under close monitoring for bedbug-related compliance since 2021. The property, which was built in 1945 and is now classified as a converted Class A building, has experienced four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations between 2021 and 2024, all related to the failure to submit the required annual bedbug reports to the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

However, the most recent two reports filed in 2024 (October and April) indicate a clean slate with no documented bedbug infestations, eradications, or re-infestations during the reporting period from November 2022 to October 2023. Prior to the current bedbug reporting period, the building underwent a successful rodent inspection in March 2015, passing the initial inspection.

While the building has maintained compliance with subsequent bedbug reporting requirements and shows no current infestations as of the latest filings, the pattern of violations from 2021 to 2024 suggests a history of administrative oversight regarding bedbug reporting requirements. It's noteworthy that all violations recorded were class A, which typically indicates serious but not immediately hazardous conditions. The property's recent clean bedbug reports and passing rodent inspection suggest improved compliance with building maintenance requirements, though the historical pattern of violations could indicate occasional lapses in administrative processes.
