38-04 98th Street, Queens, NY 11368

The four-story, eight-unit residential building at 38-04 98th Street in Jackson Heights, currently owned by Lori Vergos and constructed in 1990, has experienced several notable incidents over recent years. Most recently, there was a period of bedbug reporting compliance issues in 2021-2022, with violations documented in both April and March 2022 for failure to file the required annual bedbug reports with HPD, though subsequent filings from 2021 through October 2024 indicate no infested or eradicated units during the reporting periods.

The building underwent intensive rodent control measures in early 2019, with bait application documented on multiple occasions between February and March 2019, though an inspection in October 2014 had resulted in a passing grade for rodent inspection. Additional incidents include a complaint regarding excessive debris in January 2021, which was marked as closed following an inspection in February 2021, though access was not granted on the inspector's second final attempt.

A permit related to electrical work (Job Number: 440633673, Permit Sequence Number: 01) was filed in December 2020 and is currently listed as in process. The building is classified under Housing Maintenance Code Class A, with the most recent documented violations now resolved, though the earlier bedbug reporting non-compliance suggests ongoing attention to pest control requirements was necessary during that period.
