67-19 53rd Drive, Queens, NY 11378

The two-family residence at 67-19 53rd Drive in Maspeth, owned by Qi Sun, has a notable history regarding rodent-related issues, particularly in recent years. The 1910 two-story building has experienced recurring rodent sightings, with the most recent complaints filed in May 2023 and December 2022 through the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH).

The May 2023 complaint resulted in documented violations requiring follow-up inspections, while the December 2022 complaint showed minor violations following an inspection. Compliance inspections in August 2023 showed rat activity, though this was preceded by a passed initial inspection in June 2023. Earlier records indicate better pest control management, with inspections in 2015 and 2017 both passing without incident.

In addition to the rodent complaints, there was a complaint filed in June 2025 regarding a permit issue, which was investigated and determined not to warrant any violations. This building's documented history shows a pattern of rodent-related concerns concentrated primarily in 2022-2023, while earlier inspections from 2015 through 2017 had been consistently passed, suggesting a possible deterioration of pest control measures over the past two years. The most recent rodent-related violation is notable as it came despite prior inspections indicating improvements, and the property's documented history spans over a century, representing typical building class challenges for a structure of its age and type in New York City.
