45-76 162nd Street, Queens, NY 11358

The three-story, two-family house at 45-76 162nd Street in Flushing, owned by Josephine Valenza, has a documented history of several significant events, with the most recent being a complaint filed in October 2023 regarding alleged illegal conversions, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. In late 2018, the building experienced an apparent pest infestation, with multiple 311 complaints and Housing Maintenance Code complaints filed on November 13, 2018, related to unsanitary conditions and pests, though no violations were ultimately issued following inspections.

The building was also subject to two investigations in December 2018 regarding the potential presence of illegal hotel rooms, with one resulting in an Oath violation being served, though inspection access was not granted in another case. The property has a concerning violation history from March 2019, when four immediately hazardous (Class 1) violations were issued related to the failure to certify corrections; however, these were ultimately dismissed by July 2019.

More positively, the building has not reported any bedbug infestations in the most recent reporting period (2021-2022), with the official report indicating zero infested dwelling units and successful eradication of any affected units. The building was constructed in 2002 and is classified as a two-family house under NYC building codes.
