42-59 158th Street, Queens, NY 11358

The three-unit residential building at 42-59 158th Street in Flushing, owned by Xiao Qiu Weng, has been in operation since 2001 and has experienced recurring pest management challenges, particularly with bedbugs. Most recently, in 2024, the building faced violations for failing to timely file mandatory annual bedbug reports, following similar violations in 2023, 2022, and 2021, indicating a pattern of non-compliance with housing maintenance code requirements.

The building's bedbug infestation history shows periods of significant pest activity, with reports in 2024 and 2022 documenting infestations in all three units, though these were subsequently reported as eradicated. There were noting in 2023 and 2021 periods when no infested units were reported, suggesting some periods of effective pest management.

Additionally, the building's history includes two separate complaints in 2019 regarding alleged illegal conversions at an adjacent address (113-58), though both complaints were closed due to inspectors being unable to gain access. While these complaints were not directly related to the subject property, they were recorded under the same investigation period. The most recent bedbug filing, submitted in August 2024, provides the most current overview of the building's pest management challenges, showing all units were impacted, with records of infestation, eradication, and re-infestation across all three dwelling units between 2022-2023.
