192-08 42nd Avenue, Queens, NY 11358

The two-family house at 192-08 42nd Avenue in Flushing, owned by Joseph Sweeney, has a history of maintenance issues that were documented during a June 2016 inspection. These violations included broken or defective floor tiles in the north cellar room and damaged acoustical tiles in the cellar ceiling, both classified as B-level violations, as well as a C-level violation for an illegal double cylinder key-operated locking device at the front building entrance to the first-floor apartment.

All of these violations were certified as resolved by November 2021. The building has experienced a series of bedbug infestation reports over the past several years, with the most recent filings showing no current infestations. Between 2019 and 2024, there were eight bedbug reports submitted to the NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

Notably, during the 2019-2020 reporting period, there were two units affected by bedbugs that were subsequently eradicated, and during the 2020-2021 period, there were no affected units reported. All subsequent reports from 2021 through early 2025 indicate zero infestation cases, suggesting successful management of the pest situation in recent years. The building's maintenance and pest control records indicate that while there were historical issues requiring attention, particularly in 2016 and during the 2019-2020 bedbug outbreak, these problems appear to have been resolved through appropriate remediation efforts.
