97-10 43rd Avenue, Queens, NY 11368

The 2-story, 4-unit building at 97-10 43rd Avenue in Corona, owned by Jorge Fernandez and constructed in 1976, has experienced recurring pest-related issues over the past three years. Most notably, in October 2023, two separate complaints about pest-related unsanitary conditions were filed with the Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) Department, but inspectors were unable to gain access for verification, resulting in the complaints being closed without resolution.

The building has a documented history of bedbug reporting violations, with Notices of Violation issued in 2022, 2023, and 2024 for failing to file the required annual bedbug reports, though the most recent filing from May 2024 indicates zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units for the previous reporting period (2022-2023). The property's rodent management history shows mixed results, with a compliance inspection in April 2015 passing, following an initial inspection in March 2015 that failed for unspecified reasons.

An initial inspection in August 2010 passed. While the building's bedbug reporting for the 2022-2024 period shows no documented infestations, the pattern of violations and pest-related complaints suggests ongoing challenges with pest management compliance. The most recent complaints in October 2023, which were closed due to inability to inspect, indicate a potential ongoing concern, though the building's seemingly thorough subsequent bedbug reporting (showing no units affected) suggests some level of remediation has occurred.
