32-05 Leavitt Street, Queens, NY 11354

32-05 Leavitt Street is a 3-story, 5-unit residential building located in Flushing, owned by Ping Qin Chen and constructed in 1997. The building has experienced several notable events regarding building maintenance and resident comfort over the past few years.

Most recently, there were multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2021-2024 concerning the failure to submit annual bedbug reports as required under NYC regulations, though the most recent 2024 bedbug filing showed no infestation issues during the previous reporting period. The building had one significant incident regarding heating systems in April 2021, when residents reported an emergency heating and hot water issue that was investigated by HPD, though no violations were ultimately issued as the inspectors found that heat was not required at the time of inspection.

Looking back further, the building's history includes a pair of failed rodent inspections in April and May 2011, suggesting past challenges with pest control prior to the implementation of bedbug reporting requirements. The property's bedbug reporting record from 2022-2024 shows consistent compliance with reporting requirements under the current housing maintenance code, with all reported units showing as either zero infestations or successful eradication of any previous infestations. While the building has had some maintenance issues, particularly regarding bedbug report compliance and the 2021 heating incident, the most recent records indicate these problems have generally been addressed, with a marked improvement in overall building conditions and reporting compliance since 2021.
