98-10 37th Avenue, Queens, NY 11368

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 98-10 37th Avenue in Jackson Heights, owned by Franklin Sanchez and constructed in 1960, has experienced recurring issues with compliance that warrant attention. Most notably, there is an ongoing pattern of bedbug reporting violations, with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) issuing annual Notices of Violation (NOV) from 2021 through 2024 for failure to file required annual bedbug reports.

While this is an administrative violation, it indicates potential lapses in pest management protocols. The building experienced a significant cluster of emergency maintenance issues in August 2018, including problems with mold (reported twice), various plumbing issues (radiator, toilet, sink), window frame concerns, and multiple ceiling paint/plaster problems. All these complaints were investigated and closed by August 28, 2018.

The most recent rodent inspection from March 2017 was passed, showing compliance at that time. While there are no reported housing maintenance code violations from 2019 to the present, the recurring nature of bedbug reporting violations over the past four years suggests an ongoing challenge with maintaining proper documentation of pest management activities. The building's documented history shows both emergency maintenance needs and compliance issues that, while resolved at the time of reporting, may indicate areas requiring regular attention to maintain resident comfort and building standards.
