45-56 163rd Street, Queens, NY 11358

The three-story residential building at 45-56 163rd Street in Flushing, owned by Sui Xiang Yu, has experienced recurring issues with regulatory compliance over recent years. Most notably, the building has accumulated four open Housing Maintenance Code violations between 2021 and 2024 related to the failure to file the required annual bedbug reports as mandated by HPD regulations, with the most recent violation recorded in April 2024. These ongoing violation warrants concern about the property's attention to pest control requirements.

Additionally, in 2018, there were two violations recorded with the Department of Buildings Environmental Control Board concerning the front yard planting requirements. The property was cited for failing to maintain the required planting area, having instead paved the entire front yard with concrete, which violated zoning resolution requirements. While these ECB violations were resolved without any penalties or outstanding balances, they indicate a history of non-compliance with landscaping requirements.

The building, constructed in 2001 and classified as a Class A residential property, currently consists of three units. Since the last recorded violations in 2018, there have been no new structural or safety violations reported through the Department of Buildings, and no additional zoning or environmental violations have been cited. However, the pattern of recurring bedbug report violations suggests consistent oversight regarding mandatory reporting requirements. It's worth noting that while the building's current violation status appears to show a lack of recent penalties or serious maintenance issues, the open bedbug report violations represent an ongoing regulatory compliance issue that has persisted for several years, spanning multiple inspection cycles.
