37-12 98th Street, Queens, NY 11368

The four-story, seven-unit residential building at 37-12 98th Street in Jackson Heights, owned by Judy Lam, has maintained a relatively consistent record regarding both bedbug management and construction-related incidents since its 2005 construction. Most notably, the building experienced recurring violations related to bedbug reporting requirements from 2021 through 2024, with violations noted in annual inspections for failing to file the mandatory reports under Housing Maintenance Code § HMC.

However, the most recent bedbug report for the period ending October 31, 2023, shows no reported infestations or eradications in any dwelling units, suggesting effective management of this potential issue in recent times. The building faced several construction-related complaints in June 2021, including allegations of work without permits and construction beyond approved plans, though most of these complaints were either closed without violation or resulted in a stop work order for a wooden canopy in the rear yard.

The Environmental Control Board subsequently issued a violation for the unpermitted canopy construction, resulting in a $500 penalty that appears to have been resolved. Despite these construction-related incidents, there have been no subsequent violations or complaints regarding the building's structural modifications or maintenance from mid-2021 onwards, indicating compliance with regulatory requirements since that time.
