149-11 Barclay Avenue, Queens, NY 11355

The three-story, five-unit residential building at 149-11 Barclay Avenue in Flushing, owned by Xu Ying Tan and constructed in 1989, has experienced persistent pest-related issues throughout 2023 and 2024. There have been multiple verified reports of unsanitary conditions involving pests, including three documented pest complaints to the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) between August and October 2023, all resulting in violations. These inspections revealed specific infestations of mice and roaches in apartment 1A.

A current violation remains open as of April 2024 regarding the failure to file the required annual bedbug report. The building's violation history shows a pattern of pest control challenges, with similar issues noted in 2021-2022. An earlier environmental control board violation from January 2018 indicated unauthorized occupancy changes, showing discrepancies between the actual number of parking spaces and those permitted by the certificate of occupancy, though this was eventually resolved.

The building's maintenance record reveals ongoing challenges with pest management, as evidenced by the recurrence of complaints and violations. While some past violations have been resolved, such as those from September 2023 regarding mice and roaches, the persistence of similar issues suggests continuing maintenance concerns. It's noteworthy that the most recent complaints from April 2024 resulted in HPD's inability to inspect the reported conditions, leading to closure without resolution. This pattern of pest-related violations, documented over multiple years, indicates a recurring maintenance issue that affects multiple units, with the most recent violations primarily concerning apartment 1A between September and November 2023.
