103-01 37th Avenue, Queens, NY 11368

The three-story, four-unit residential building at 103-01 37th Avenue in Jackson Heights, owned by Chunhui Zhang, has a notable history of regulatory compliance issues, particularly concerning bedbug reporting and boiler maintenance. Most concerning is the recurring pattern of non-compliance with the Housing Maintenance Code's bedbug reporting requirements, with open violations recorded annually from 2021 through 2024, indicating failure to file the required annual bedbug reports as mandated by HPD rules. The building also experienced significant boiler-related violations, including a 2024 investigation revealing multiple issues in the boiler room such as debris, a missing chimney cleanout, and incorrectly installed hot water heater flue.

This violation, resulting in an Environmental Control Board citation, was recorded on April 22, 2024. The building's history shows persistent failures to file required safety inspections, particularly regarding external low-pressure inspections. Violations were issued for failing to file these inspections from 2018 through 2023, though records indicate they were ultimately dismissed between 2024 and 2025.

A 2020 violation for failing to file the 2017 boiler inspection report was also dismissed in 2024. While the dismissal of these violations suggests compliance was eventually achieved, the pattern of recurrent violations raises questions about the building's maintenance practices. The property, constructed in 1930 and classified as HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A, has been under scrutiny for multiple regulatory violations over the past several years, with the most recent concerns focused on both pest management and boiler maintenance compliance.
