88-42 53rd Avenue, Queens, NY 11373
The three-unit, two-story residential building at 88-42 53rd Avenue in Elmhurst, owned by Zhong He, has experienced several notable health and maintenance issues over the past decade. Most concerning is the building's persistent failure to comply with New York City's bedbug reporting requirements; between 2021 and 2024, there have been four consecutive Class A Housing Maintenance Code violations related to the annual bedbug report filing.
The property, which dates back to 1935 and is classified as HEREAFTER CONVERTED CLASS A, has also had documented rodent problems. In December 2020, an inspection revealed rat activity, following an October 2020 complaint about rodent signs that resulted in violations being found by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.
While a rodent inspection conducted in May 2015 showed no issues, the more recent findings suggest ongoing pest management challenges. As of the latest information available through April 2024, the building remains in violation of the bedbug reporting requirement, though more recent health data beyond this date would be required to confirm current conditions.
