79-15 Calamus Avenue, Queens, NY 11373

The two-story, three-unit residential building at 79-15 Calamus Avenue in Elmhurst, owned by Kok Chun Chiu and constructed in 1950, has experienced recurring administrative issues over bedbug reporting compliance since 2021. Most recently, in April 2024, the building received an open Class A violation from the Housing Maintenance Code regarding the failure to file the required annual bedbug report with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

This violation mirrors similar infractions from previous years, including 2022 and 2021, although those earlier violations were subsequently closed. Despite these reporting violations, it's worth noting that the building's actual bedbug infestation record shows no documented infestations during the three most recent reporting periods (2019-2020, 2020-2021, and 2021-2022), with all reporting periods indicating zero infested units and successful eradication of any cases that had occurred.

The most recent bedbug report submission in February 2023 covered the period from November 2021 to October 2022, continuing the trend of maintaining a pest-free environment despite the administrative oversights regarding reporting compliance. The building's violation record, while indicating ongoing administrative challenges, suggests that the property has successfully managed to maintain a bedbug-free status when inspections and reporting were properly conducted.
