53-19 82nd Street, Queens, NY 11373

The three-unit residential building at 53-19 82nd Street in Elmhurst, owned by Philip Chan, has had a mixed record regarding pest management and health inspections over recent years. Most notably, there was an initial rodent-related violation found in November 2022 by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, though subsequent inspections in January 2023 and September 2024 showed compliance.

A concerning pattern emerged in mid-2024 with a failed inspection in June, following which the property passed another inspection in September. The building has experienced minimal bedbug issues, with only one documented case of infestation in 2020 involving one unit, though earlier reports from 2018 and later reports from 2021 through 2023-2024 show no detected infestations or confirmed eradication efforts. The building's health inspection history reveals some recurring pest management challenges, particularly with rodent concerns, though more recent inspections have generally demonstrated improved compliance.

The property, constructed in 1987 and classified as a Class A building, consists of three stories and three units, with the most significant recent issues revolving around rodent management rather than bedbug infestations. The regularity of inspections and follow-up actions by health authorities suggests ongoing monitoring of pest control practices, though the recent pattern of passing inspections may indicate improvements in management practices. The property has maintained its three-unit configuration throughout the documented period, with no reported significant structural or safety violations beyond the pest-related concerns.
