41-20 158th Street, Queens, NY 11358

This three-unit, three-story building located at 41-20 158th Street in Flushing, owned by Yinfai Leung, was constructed in 1990 and has experienced a recurring pattern of bedbug infestations in recent years. Most concerning is the building's recent heating system issues, with a January 2025 complaint to HPD regarding lack of heat and hot water that was only partially resolved during the inspector's visit. The building's bedbug infestation history shows a troubling pattern between 2022 and 2025, with three confirmed infestations during the 2023-2024 reporting period, all units affected and subsequently treated, though showing re-infestation.

This followed a similar pattern in the previous reporting period (2022-2023) with all units infested. Prior to these two years, there were no recorded infestations from 2019 to 2021. The building had one documented Housing Maintenance Code violation in 2021 related to the failure to file the required annual bedbug report, though this appears to have been resolved.

The property's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with both heat system reliability and pest control, with the most recent incidents occurring as recently as January 2025. The repeated bedbug infestations over the past three years indicate potential difficulties with comprehensive pest management in the building. While the heat and hot water issue from January 2025 was temporarily resolved, the situation warrants monitoring for any recurrence of heating system problems.
