58-01 Van Cleef Street, Queens, NY 11368

The three-story, three-unit building at 58-01 Van Cleef Street in Corona, owned by Qiu Hong Zheng, was constructed in 1989 and has experienced several significant maintenance issues over its history. Most recently, in 2024, the building was issued an open violation for failing to file the required annual bedbug report, though previous reports from 2021-2022 showed no infestation, following a prior 2019 outbreak that affected all three units.

Between 2022 and 2024, multiple open violations were documented related to building maintenance and safety, including exposed electrical wiring in the first-story public hall, defective vinyl tile floors in various areas, and encumbrances in the third-story public hall. The 2022 inspection revealed several concerning issues including a bricked-up entrance window and multiple safety hazards that remain unresolved. Earlier in its history, the building experienced pest-related issues in 2019 that prompted multiple complaints to HPD, though no violations were ultimately issued.

The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of both pest control challenges and various maintenance violations requiring attention to public areas. While there have been no recent documented infestations or major safety concerns in the past few years, the presence of open violations regarding bedbug reporting and other maintenance issues suggests ongoing attention to building upkeep is necessary. The building's original rodent inspection records from 2012 showed mixed results, with one compliance inspection passing and another failing for unspecified reasons, though these are considerably dated by now.
