32-19 101st Street, Queens, NY 11369

The three-unit, three-story residence at 32-19 101st Street in East Elmhurst, owned by Marcello Barrera, has been facing ongoing regulatory challenges regarding bedbug reporting compliance over the past several years. Since 2021, the building has consistently received Housing Maintenance Code violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations, with the most recent such violation recorded in April 2024, marking the third consecutive year of non-compliance.

These open violations, which carry Class A designation, suggest persistent issues with the building's adherence to mandatory pest management documentation requirements. Conversely, the building's documented bedbug infestation history appears minimal, with the only official report filed in May 2021 covering the period from November 2019 to October 2020, showing no affected or eradicated units, though this may not fully reconcile with the ongoing violations.

The building's history includes a Department of Buildings complaint in 2018 regarding an alleged illegal conversion, though this complaint was closed within a month due to the inspector's inability to gain access for verification. Built in 1901, this "Heretofore Converted Class A" structure has maintained its original three-story configuration, though two of its three units have now been identified as having open bedbug-related violations. The consistent pattern of bedbug report violations from 2022 through 2024, following a period of compliance in 2021, suggests ongoing challenges with maintaining appropriate pest management documentation despite the apparent absence of current infestations based on official reporting.
