56-27 Van Cleef Street, Queens, NY 11368

The three-story, three-unit building at 56-27 Van Cleef Street in Corona, owned by Kowk-chee Lam and constructed in 1972, has experienced consistent issues with compliance regarding mandatory annual bedbug reporting over the past four years.

The building has received four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations between 2021 and 2024, all related to the failure to file the required annual bedbug reports as mandated by NYC HPD rules. These violations, which remain open as of the most recent inspection in April 2024, suggest an ongoing pattern of neglect concerning regulatory requirements aimed at ensuring tenant safety and comfort.

Before this pattern emerged, the building passed an initial rodent inspection conducted in May 2012, though it's unclear whether any subsequent inspections took place or if similar pest-related issues have persisted given the more recent focus on bedbug reporting compliance. The building's current status as "HEREAFTER CONVERTED CLASS A" indicates it has been designated as a converted Class A multiple dwelling, though this designation itself does not provide context about the building's overall condition or management practices.
