33-18 Union Street, Queens, NY 11354

The three-unit, three-story building at 33-18 Union Street in Flushing, owned by Naipaul Ramnauth and built in 1979, has experienced several notable pest-related incidents over the past few years. Most recently, in early 2023, there was rat activity observed in January, though a subsequent compliance inspection in February passed.

The building has a documented history of rodent-related issues, with initial inspections in November 2021 and February 2022 both showing rat activity or infestation. In 2021, a rat sighting was reported through the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. The property has also faced challenges with bedbug reporting compliance, with multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations recorded between 2021 and 2023 for failure to file annual bedbug reports.

However, the most recent bedbug reports from 2022 through 2025 indicate a clean record, with zero infested dwelling units, zero units requiring eradication, and no re-infestations noted during the reporting periods. This suggests successful resolution of the bedbug compliance issue, though the building was cited for the violation three consecutive years from 2021-2023 before the reporting indicators showed improvement. The building's most recent rodent-related inspection results show improved compliance, with no reported rat activity since February 2023, marking a positive trend in pest management.
