52-18 Flushing Avenue, Queens, NY 11378

The four-unit, two-story tenement building at 52-18 Flushing Avenue in Maspeth, owned by Dennis Silverio and constructed in 1915, has experienced persistent issues with both bedbug reporting compliance and historical rodent problems. Most notably, between 2021 and 2024, the building has received four consecutive Class A violations for failing to submit the required annual bedbug reports, with the most recent violation recorded in April 2024.

While these violations indicate ongoing regulatory non-compliance, they do not directly suggest an active pest infestation. The building has a documented history of rodent issues, particularly evident in a concerning cluster of violations in 2017, during which multiple bait applications were required between February and May, following initial inspections that revealed rat activity.

Prior to this, an inspection in November 2009 had shown compliance with rodent control regulations. The property, classified as a "New Law Tenement," has been subject to various city enforcement requirements over its century-plus history, and the current bedbug report violation pattern is notable for its consistency over multiple years.
