55-23 134th Street, Queens, NY 11355

The three-unit residential building at 55-23 134th Street in Flushing, owned by Herbert Luke and constructed in 1970, has experienced recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance over recent years. The most recent violation, dated April 2024, remains open, while similar violations from March 2023 and March 2022 are also currently unresolved.

These violations relate to the failure to file the required annual bedbug reports as mandated by Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) regulations. While there was one previous bedbug report completed in April 2021 covering the period from November 2019 to October 2020, this report showed no documented cases of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation in any dwelling units. The building's violation history suggests a pattern of non-compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with four consecutive years (2021-2024) receiving Notices of Violation (NOVs) under HMC § FILE ANNUAL BEDBUG REPORT requirements.

The only period for which an actual bedbug report was submitted (2019-2020) showed no infestations, which could indicate either effective management or possibly incomplete reporting. While bedbug reporting violations generally do not pose direct safety risks to residents, they do suggest lapses in building management's adherence to mandatory health and safety regulations. The presence of three consecutive open violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with no documented infestations during the only reported period, creates a mixed picture of the building's pest management practices.
