145-10 20th Avenue, Queens, NY 11357

The two-story, four-unit residential building at 145-10 20th Avenue in Whitestone, owned by James Woods and constructed in 1950, has experienced several significant pest-related issues over the past several years. Most notably, there has been a recurring pattern of bedbug reporting requirements under the Housing Maintenance Code; while violations were noted in 2021, 2022, and most recently in April 2024 for failure to file annual bedbug reports, each of these violations appears to have been subsequently addressed, as evidenced by the building's bedbug reports showing no infested units, no eradicated units, and no re-infested units between 2021 and 2024.

The property has also dealt with rodent issues, particularly during late 2019 and early 2020, with multiple inspections showing rat activity in late 2019 through early 2020, followed by bait application in January and February 2020. A complaint regarding an inadequate or illegal fence was filed in December 2021, though no violation was warranted upon inspection in January 2022.

Despite these challenges, the most recent bedbug report from December 2024 shows compliance with reporting requirements, with no active infestations noted in the past year, suggesting an improvement in pest management practices. It's worth noting that while the building has experienced various pest-related issues, the management has ultimately complied with reporting requirements and addressed violations when they occurred, as indicated by the most recent inspections and filings.
