48-42 59th Street, Queens, NY 11377

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 48-42 59th Street in Maspeth, owned by Haukin Chau and constructed in 1986, has experienced several pest-related issues over the past few years, though recent reports indicate a significant improvement. The building has maintained an active record of compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no reported infestations in any of the annual filings from 2022 to 2025, including the most recent filing in July 2025 showing zero infested or re-infested units.

The property has also passed all rodent inspections, with the most recent inspection in January 2023 showing no violations, following a rat sighting complaint that was promptly inspected and resolved by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. Notably, in December 2021, there were two unsanitary condition complaints related to pests filed with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development, though inspectors were unable to gain access to the property for verification.

These complaints were ultimately closed as non-emergency issues. The building has received periodic violations related to the requirement for annual bedbug reporting (during 2021-2024), though these were administrative in nature rather than indicating current pest problems. All violations and complaints on record have been resolved, and the most recent bedbug report filings demonstrate consistent compliance with health department requirements, showing effective pest management practices and no active infestations in recent years.
