104-68 38th Avenue, Queens, NY 11368

The 4-unit residential building at 104-68 38th Avenue in Jackson Heights, owned by Xiao Ping Xu and constructed in 1990, has experienced several notable events regarding pest management and building maintenance over recent years. Most recently, in February 2023, a rat sighting was reported to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, resulting in inspections that revealed violations requiring follow-up.

Subsequent rodent inspections in March 2023 noted rat activity, though a compliance inspection in April 2023 ultimately passed. The building has consistently faced challenges with bedbug reporting requirements; between 2021 and 2023, the property received three Housing Maintenance Code violations for failing to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations.

However, the most recent bedbug report filed in February 2024 for the period of November 2022 to October 2023 indicates no infested units, no eradicated units, and no re-infested units. The building's rodent inspection history shows a mixed record, with initial inspections in 2014 failing for unspecified reasons, though a compliance inspection in the same year passed. While the property has demonstrated compliance with some recent regulations, including passing the April 2023 rodent inspection, the recurring bedbug reporting violations over multiple years and the recent rodent activity in 2023 suggest ongoing challenges with building maintenance requirements.
