134-22A Maple Avenue, Queens, NY 11355

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 134-22A Maple Avenue in Flushing, owned by Xue Zhen Zheng and constructed in 2003, has experienced several maintenance and sanitation issues over the past decade. Most notably, in February 2019, multiple serious complaints were filed regarding water leaks with heavy flow, mold, and pest infestations, all of which were marked as either emergency or non-emergency cases but could not be inspected by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) due to access issues.

More recently, the building has faced regulatory challenges regarding bedbug reporting requirements, receiving four consecutive violations between 2021 and 2024 for failing to file the mandated annual bedbug reports, though these violations were subsequently closed. The building's rodent inspection history shows mixed results, with two consecutive compliance inspections passed in 2011 and 2022, though there was an initial inspection in 2011 that failed for unspecified reasons, and another inspection in 2022 that recorded rat activity.

This pattern suggests that while recent vermin issues have been mostly under control, there were notable sanitation challenges in the building's earlier years. While the property has seen some improvements in recent years, particularly in rodent control, the history of access denial to inspectors and repeated regulatory violations suggests ongoing challenges with property maintenance compliance and communication.
