51-79 Manilla Street, Queens, NY 11373

The three-story, three-unit building at 51-79 Manilla Street in Elmhurst, owned by Sandra Jamet and constructed in 1960, has undergone a noteworthy pattern of bedbug-related compliance measures over the past several years. Most recently, the property received a Housing Maintenance Code violation notice in April 2024 regarding the failure to file the required annual bedbug report, though this violation has since been marked as closed.

This marks the fourth consecutive year (2021-2024) in which the building has received similar violation notices for this reporting requirement, suggesting an ongoing administrative challenge with timely compliance. Despite these reporting issues, the building's actual bedbug infestation history appears relatively minimal. The most recent bedbug report submitted in April 2024 covering the period from November 2022 to October 2023 showed zero infested units and units requiring eradication.

This pattern of reports indicates that while there were three units requiring eradication in the previous reporting period (2021-2022), and no infested or eradicated units in the 2020-2021 and 2019-2020 periods, the building has generally maintained low infestation levels. Notably, all the bedbug reports since 2019 have shown zero units requiring re-infestation treatments. The repeated violations regarding report filing requirements, while concerning from a compliance perspective, must be viewed in the context of the building's relatively successful bedbug management record, with only three eradication cases recorded among the four reporting periods.
