42-34 157th Street, Queens, NY 11355

The three-unit, three-story residential building at 42-34 157th Street in Flushing, owned by Christina Clarke, has shown a concerning pattern of bedbug reporting compliance issues over the past four years. The building's records from 2021 to 2024 indicate multiple violations of the Housing Maintenance Code regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations, with several of these violations remaining open as of April 2024. Specifically, in 2024 alone, there were two inspections (April 15 and April 16) that resulted in violations for not submitting the required bedbug reports.

Similarly, in 2023, two separate inspections (March 28 and March 30) revealed the same compliance issues, and in 2022, there were two violations recorded (March 4 and March 8). Notably, there was one instance in 2022 where a violation was officially closed, though the pattern of non-compliance continued. In terms of other property-related matters, the building recently had a complaint filed in March 2025 regarding an allegedly illegal curb cut/driveway situation on 11355 street.

However, this complaint was investigated on April 8, 2025, and was determined to have no warrant for violation at the time of inspection, resulting in a closed status. This more recent issue appears to be unrelated to the building's residential operations and was resolved quickly through inspection. While the bedbug report violations constitute the most significant ongoing compliance issues facing the property, particularly given their frequency and recent nature, it's important to note that these violations primarily relate to administrative requirements rather than direct health or safety concerns.
