61-16 Metropolitan Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

The two-family residence at 61-16 Metropolitan Avenue in Ridgewood, built in 1935 and currently classified as a Class A building, has experienced several notable events throughout its recent history. Most significantly, the building has had a recurring issue with bedbug reporting compliance between 2021 and 2023, with three violations recorded under Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) regulations for failure to file annual bedbug reports. However, recent filings indicate a clean record for bedbugs in the past two reporting periods: the current 2023-2024 period shows no infested units, and the previous 2022-2023 period also reported zero infested units.

The building underwent a rodent inspection in 2012 and another in 2017, both of which passed. In 2019, a permit was issued for work on the property under job number 440530016, specifically for exterior work (EW), though the final outcome of this work is not specified in the records provided. As of the latest available data in 2023, the building appears to be in compliance with current bedbug reporting requirements, with no reported infestations in the most recent filings.

The property has maintained a positive track record in pest control, with no rodent issues reported in recent inspections. The owner, Jiang Biying, has taken steps to address previous HMC violations, as evidenced by the current compliant status regarding bedbug reporting. While the building's history shows some regulatory enforcement issues in the past, the most recent data suggests improved compliance and maintenance practices.
