42-38 157th Street, Queens, NY 11355

The three-unit residential building at 42-38 157th Street in Flushing, owned by Keith Lee, has experienced consistent bedbug reporting violations over the past several years.

Despite the existence of open civil penalties since 2021 for failing to file required annual bedbug reports under the Housing Maintenance Code, the property has maintained a record of effectively managing any infestations that have occurred. Between 2020-2021 and 2024-2025, there were no confirmed infested dwelling units reported in any of the filings, and in each case where infestations were previously noted, all treated units (3 in total) were successfully eradicated of bedbugs, with no evidence of re-infestation.

The most recent filing period (2023-2024) showed no infested units, with all three units having been successfully treated if previously infested. While the open violations present a regulatory compliance issue, the building management's consistent documentation of eradication efforts and recent absence of reported infestations suggests active management of the bedbug situation, though it should be noted that proper reporting compliance remains outstanding as of 2025.
