45-82 161st Street, Queens, NY 11358

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 45-82 161st Street in Flushing, owned by Fei Zhang and constructed in 1980, has experienced several noteworthy incidents in recent years. Most concerning are the open Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2022-2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations, though no infestation was reported during the 2020-2021 filing period.

The property has had recent pest-related issues, with a rodent-related complaint made to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene in September 2023, which resulted in a passing inspection with only minor violations noted. A subsequent rodent inspection in October 2023 also passed. While the building has maintained compliance in more recent inspections, the recurring nature of the bedbug reporting violations over multiple years (2021-2024) warrants attention, even though the actual bedbug reporting period from 2020-2021 showed no reported infestations or eradication efforts.

The building's recent history shows a pattern of pest-related concerns, though inspections have consistently resulted in passing grades. The most recent building inspection data available (as of October 2023) indicates the property is currently in better standing regarding immediate health and safety violations, with no recent complaints or open violations affecting resident safety or comfort. However, the historical timeline of the bedbug report violations, combined with recent rodent complaints, suggests pest management has been an ongoing concern for this property, though recent inspections show some improvement in compliance and pest control measures.
