42-38 159th Street, Queens, NY 11358
This three-story, three-unit residential building located at 42-38 159th Street in Flushing, owned by Dan Han, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, in 2022, substantial problems were documented in the first-floor apartment (Apartment 1), including mold growth, water leaks, and pest infestations involving both roaches and mice. These conditions prompted multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations, though all were eventually closed between late July and August 2022.
The building also experienced two heating-related incidents in 2019, with one complaint showing successful restoration of heat and hot water, while in another case, inspectors were unable to access the apartments for verification. More recent concerns include two environmental violations from October 2023 regarding front yard maintenance and parking regulations, though these resulted in no penalties. The building's bedbug reporting history shows consistently zero infestations from 2019 through 2025, demonstrating effective management of this particular issue.
In recent years, the building has received violations related to bedbug reporting compliance in 2023-2024, though these were categorized as Class A (less severe) violations. Significant access issues were noted during several inspections between 2018-2019, where inspectors were unable to enter units to verify conditions or violations. Most recent bedbug filings from 2025 show no current infestations or eradication needs.
