42-11 108th Street, Queens, NY 11368

The three-story, 12-unit residential building at 42-11 108th Street in Corona, owned by Chun Tung So, has several concerning violations on record between 2019 and 2024 that potentially impact resident safety and comfort. Most notably, there is an ongoing pattern of missed bedbug reporting requirements under Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) Section 27-2018.1, with open violations attributed to the failure to file annual bedbug reports for four consecutive years from 2021 through 2024.

The building also has multiple active Department of Buildings (DOB) violations related to external low-pressure inspection requirements, with citations issued in 2023 and 2024 for failing to file inspection reports for 2018, 2022, and 2023. There was a similar violation regarding an annual boiler inspection from 2019 for the 2017 report that remains active. Despite these violations, the building has demonstrated compliance with rodent control inspections, passing all required inspections conducted between 2015 and 2018.

Given that the most recent violations primarily relate to reporting requirements rather than direct safety issues, it is important to note that these violations may be administrative in nature. However, the consistent pattern of bedbug report violations over multiple years suggests a potential ongoing oversight regarding pest management protocols, though it does not necessarily indicate an active infestation. The persistence of the external low-pressure inspection violations, which have accumulated over multiple years, indicates a pattern of non-compliance with regular safety inspections that should be addressed.
