35-58 164th Street, Queens, NY 11358

The 8-unit, 3-story building at 35-58 164th Street in Flushing, owned by Franco Romano, was built in 1925 as a New Law tenement. The property has experienced recurring administrative violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with notices of violation issued in March 2021, March 2022, and March 2023 for failure to file the required annual bedbug reports under Housing Maintenance Code § HMC.

However, despite these violations, the building's official bedbug reports from 2019-2020 through 2022-2023 consistently show zero infested dwelling units, zero units requiring eradication, and no instances of re-infestation, suggesting proper pest management despite the reporting oversight. More recently, in June 2023, the Department of Buildings issued a violation for failure to file the 2020 external low pressure inspection, though this violation was dismissed by July 2025.

While the building has had these violations on record, it's worth noting that all bedbug reports and the dismissed DOB violation do not appear to indicate any direct impact on resident safety or comfort, as the building seemingly maintained a pest-free status throughout the reporting period. The property has been responsive to regulatory requirements, eventually filing the overdue reports, as evidenced by the most recent bedbug report filed in December 2023 covering the period from November 2022 to October 2023, showing continued compliance with this specific requirement.
