53-25 96th Street, Queens, NY 11368

The three-story residential building at 53-25 96th Street in Corona, owned by Lixin Cao, was constructed in 1986 and contains three units. The most significant recent incident was a fire in apartment 1A in July 2024, which resulted in multiple violations requiring remediation work including the installation of plywood to seal openings and cleanup of soot from walls and ceilings in a first-story public hall.

These violations were officially certified as addressed in August 2024. Prior to the fire incident, the building's record shows one Class A violation in April 2021 related to the requirement for annual bedbug reporting, though this appears to have been more of an administrative nature rather than indicative of an infestation.

The building has maintained an excellent track record for pest control since 2020, with all subsequent bedbug reports (through June 2025) showing zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units. The bedbug reporting history demonstrates consistent compliance with the requirement, with regular filings showing no infestation issues. There are no other recorded violations or significant events on the building's history, and while the recent fire incident required substantial remediation work, it appears to have been addressed promptly and has not resulted in any ongoing violations.
