136-07 35th Avenue, Queens, NY 11354

The four-story residential building at 136-07 35th Avenue in Flushing, owned by Qiliang Chen, has experienced several significant pest-related issues since its construction in 2000. Most notably, there has been a recurring pattern of rodent activity, with inspections from 2016 through 2023 consistently indicating rat presence, including three documented instances of rat activity in 2023 alone.

The property has also faced compliance challenges with the Housing Maintenance Code regarding bedbug reporting, receiving four violation notices between 2021 and 2024 for failing to submit the required annual reports, though recent filings for 2023-2024 show no reported infestations. The building's history includes an illegal conversion complaint from 2019, alleging unauthorized construction of partition walls on the third floor, which resulted in an ECB violation in 2020, though no penalties were imposed.

While rodent inspections have been conducted regularly, and there have been some periods of compliance as indicated by inspections passing (most recently in 2022), the recurring nature of the rodent issues suggests an ongoing challenge. The property's recent bedbug reporting compliance indicates improved adherence to regulations, though the absence of reported infestations doesn't necessarily confirm total eradication. The most recent documented inspection activity shows continued monitoring of pest issues, with landlords generally required to address any identified problems promptly, though the inspection results and violation statuses suggest variable responsiveness to regulatory requirements over the years.
