106-13 37th Avenue, Queens, NY 11368

The three-story, three-unit building at 106-13 37th Avenue in Jackson Heights, owned by Qiang Chen, was constructed in 2004 and has undergone several inspections and compliance checks over the past few years. The building has maintained an active record of addressing housing maintenance code violations, particularly in 2021, when multiple violations were identified related to safety and compliance regulations. These included the need for proper signage regarding building registration numbers, gas leak procedures, and housing information guides, as well as missing inspection certificates in the entrance area.

More concerning was a February 2021 inspection that revealed various safety issues in the third-floor apartment (3FL), including missing smoke detectors, defective carbon monoxide detectors, and missing or defective window guards, though these violations were certified as corrected by March-April 2021. The building has also experienced rodent-related issues, with a complaint filed in October 2019 regarding conditions attracting rodents, though this was closed without specific resolution noted. Subsequent rodent inspections in December 2019 showed compliance, indicating improved conditions.

The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with annual reports from 2021 through 2024 showing zero infested or eradicated units, suggesting effective pest management practices. The building's most recent housing maintenance code violations appear to have been addressed promptly, with multiple violations being certified as corrected by August 2021. The absence of recent violations or complaints in the past two years (as of 2025) may indicate improved maintenance practices, though it's important to note that the most recent available data only covers up to October 2023.
