34-40 100th Street, Queens, NY 11368

The three-story, 3-unit residential building at 34-40 100th Street in Jackson Heights, owned by Chun Li, was constructed in 1925 and has experienced several significant events over recent years. Most notably, the building underwent unauthorized gut renovations in 2019, including work on roof wood joists and new partition walls, which resulted in multiple ECB violations totaling penalties of $10,750. These violations were ultimately resolved, with the building's structural compliance status noted in 2021 as having sustained extensive damage, including charred roof wood joists, open roof, and missing windows.

The building has also faced various maintenance issues, including a current rat sighting complaint from March 2020 (still in progress as of 2023), and multiple housing maintenance code violations in 2021 related to window guard requirements, safety notifications, and documentation postings. While there was one health code violation in 2018 regarding fire-retardant plaster repairs needed in the third-story public hall, most concerning was a period of building instability in late 2019 that led to vacate and stop work orders, though these were later fully rescinded. The property has maintained a consistent record of bedbug reporting compliance from 2020 to present, with no reported infestations or eradications necessary in any of the 8 consecutive annual reports.

Recent inspections in 2023 have shown continued attention to regulatory requirements, though there remain open service requests and historical violations related to building maintenance. The most recent bedbug report filed in May 2025 for the period ending October 2024 shows zero affected units, continuing the trend of successful monitoring. Despite the building's age and history of violations, the recent bedbug control records and resolution of most structural and safety violations suggest improved maintenance practices, though the ongoing rat sighting complaint and historical safety violations warrant attention.
