132-12 Pople Avenue, Queens, NY 11355

132-12 Pople Avenue is a 6-story, 10-unit residential building located in Flushing and owned by Charlie Cheng. Built in 2008, the building has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years, with particular attention needed to heating systems. In February 2021, multiple emergency heat and hot water complaints were filed, though HPD inspectors were unable to gain access to conduct inspections.

Additionally, there was a rat sighting reported to the Department of Health in March 2022, which resulted in violations that required follow-up inspections. The building has also been subject to three Department of Buildings violations between 2019 and 2020 that were ultimately dismissed in December 2022 based on subsequent inspections showing corrected defects. The property has demonstrated a concerning pattern of rodent activity, with multiple inspections between March and July 2022 confirming rat activity.

However, there are no current infestations reported, as evidenced by the bedbug reporting history showing zero infested or re-infested units from 2022 through 2025. The most recent bedbug filing period (2024-2025) also indicates no current pest issues. A noteworthy compliance violation from April 2021 required the building to file an annual bedbug report according to HPD rules, though subsequent filings show no infestations. The building's history shows consistent efforts to address maintenance issues, with most violations being resolved and dismissed based on follow-up inspections.
