43-75 161st Street, Queens, NY 11358

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 43-75 161st Street in Flushing, owned by Fu Yun Fang, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent months. Most notably, in March 2025, the building faced multiple housing code violations, including problems with doors, electrical outlets, plumbing fixtures (specifically bathtubs/showers), and heating systems. While inspections were conducted and violations issued, the electrical outlet issue and a slow water leak were categorized as non-emergencies.

A smoking or vaping violation was also recorded in May 2025. The building has a documented history of bedbug reporting violations from 2021-2024, requiring annual bedbug report submissions to HPD, though recent filings from May 2025 show no infested or re-infested units for the November 2023-October 2024 period. Earlier inspections in 2018-2019 revealed rodent issues, with both inspections resulting in failures for various reasons.

More recently, in March 2025, there was a complaint regarding an illegal conversion at the property, though access was denied during both inspection attempts in April 2025. The building's maintenance record shows some improvement in bedbug management, with the most recent report indicating no active infestations, and three of the four bedbug violations issued between 2021-2024 are now closed. The property, built in 2003, has been managed under building class "HEREAFTER ERECTED CLASS A" and has undergone various inspections from multiple agencies, including the Department of Health and the Department of Buildings, with mixed results ranging from violations requiring correction to inspections finding no housing law violations.
