43-49 Byrd Street, Queens, NY 11355

The 4-unit, 4-story residential building at 43-49 Byrd Street in Flushing, owned by Jian Lin Shi and constructed in 2014, has experienced several notable issues over its operational history. Most concerning are the repeated violations regarding the failure to file mandatory annual bedbug reports, with open violations documented in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024.

The building experienced heat and hot water issues in January 2019, with two separate incidents requiring HPD intervention - one where inspectors could not gain access to the apartments, and another where tenants reported the problems had been resolved. Additionally, there were two complaints filed with the Department of Buildings, one in 2021 concerning water retention/ drainage issues, and another in 2020 relating to permit matters; both inspections were hindered by access denial. The property underwent rodent inspections in 2019 (passing) and 2011 (failing), indicating previous pest control challenges.

The building's documented history suggests ongoing compliance issues, particularly regarding pest control reporting requirements, with four consecutive years of bedbug report violations as of 2024. While some specific issues like heat and water problems were resolved as reported by tenants, the pattern of access-related complications during inspections raises potential concerns about maintenance oversight. The property appears to have maintained rodent control more recently, passing the 2019 inspection, but the persistence of bedbug report violations suggests an area of continued regulatory non-compliance.
