45-87 160th Street, Queens, NY 11358

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 45-87 160th Street in Flushing, owned by Lorraine Schnarr and constructed in 1980, has a concerning pattern of regulatory non-compliance in recent years. Since 2022, the building has received three consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations (2022-2024) related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), with the most recent violation still remaining open as of 2024.

While the bedbug filing from 2021 showed no infestations during the 2019-2020 reporting period, the persistent violations suggest potential ongoing pest management oversight. The Department of Buildings records indicate multiple complaints about work being performed without proper permits in March 2022, though all these complaints were closed with inspectors unable to gain access to the property on second final attempts.

Two complaints regarding drainage issues were filed in 2022-2023, with one being closed due to no violations found at the time of inspection, and for the other, inspectors were unable to gain access. The building's history also includes one complaint about unauthorized work (complaint number 4889504) filed on May 12, 2022, which was also closed with no violations warranted at the time of inspection. It's worth noting that while there have been multiple complaints over the past three years, most were closed without violations being confirmed upon inspection, though the pattern of bedbug report violations remains the most significant ongoing compliance issue.
