92-05 51st Avenue, Queens, NY 11373

The two-story, three-unit residential building at 92-05 51st Avenue in Elmhurst, owned by Rong Qiao Realty Inc., was constructed in 1980 and has experienced several notable maintenance issues over the past few years. Most significantly, the property has demonstrated recurring challenges with bedbug reporting compliance, with multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations documented between 2021 and 2024, all related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD rules.

However, recent bedbug filings for 2022-2023 through 2024 show no reported infestations, suggesting an improvement in this area. More concerning is the building's documented rodent infestation history, particularly during 2022, when multiple inspections between May and December revealed rat activity, though bait was ultimately applied in December 2022. A rat sighting was also reported in April 2022, which resulted in health department violations requiring follow-up inspections.

Despite these issues, the building has maintained good compliance with bedbug eradication efforts, as evidenced by the zero infestation counts in all recent bedbug reports from 2019-2024. The property, which falls under the "HEREAFTER ERECTED CLASS A" classification, has demonstrated ongoing attention to pest management, though the pattern of violations in both bedbug reporting and rodent activity suggests historical challenges with maintaining compliant living conditions, particularly during the 2020-2022 period. Since April 2024, there have been no new violations recorded in either category.
