104-70 42nd Avenue, Queens, NY 11368

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 104-70 42nd Avenue in Corona, owned by Kenneth Cajamarca, has a mixed history of compliance and violations since its construction in 1920. Most notably, the building has accumulated three sequential open Housing Maintenance Code violations (2022, 2023, and 2024) relating to bedbug reporting requirements, with no certifications submitted to demonstrate compliance with the annual reporting obligation.

The building was notably involved in multiple investigations in 2019-2021 regarding unauthorized work and illegal conversions, including a $1,250 penalty for unpermitted construction of full-height partition walls, bathrooms, and plumbing systems in the cellar level, though records indicate this violation was resolved with no balance due. A complaint about illegal hotel rooms in the residential building was filed in September 2019, which resulted in an Oath Violation being served, though the inspector was unable to gain access on a second attempt during a related investigation.

The building's pest management history shows some complexity; while the bedbug report filed in February 2021 for the period from November 2019 to October 2020 indicated no infested or re-infested units, and all units listed as eradicated, the ongoing bedbug reporting violations suggest potential lapses in monitoring or reporting. The most recent rodent inspection in February 2015 resulted in a passing grade, indicating no rodent issues at that time. While the building has undergone some investigations and received various violations over recent years, many of these issues appear to have been addressed or resolved, with the most persistent concern being the current open bedbug reporting violations.
