38-35 213th Street, Queens, NY 11361

This three-story, three-unit residential building at 38-35 213th Street in Bayside, owned by Joann Lee, has exhibited several noteworthy patterns in its maintenance history since construction in 1980. The most significant recent issue occurred in March 2019, when tenants reported a heat and hot water problem that triggered an emergency Housing Maintenance Code complaint.

However, inspectors were unable to gain access to the affected apartments during their investigation, and the complaint was ultimately closed without resolution. Since that incident, the building has maintained an active compliance status with housing regulations, though several annual bedbug report violations were documented between 2019 and 2024, with inspectors noting the need to file the required reports under § HMC.

Notably, the most recent bedbug reporting period (November 2023 - October 2024) shows no infestation activity, with the same being true for the preceding two years of reporting (2022-2023 and 2019-2020), suggesting effective pest management in recent times. The building's only open violation, recorded in March 2019, involved an illegal double cylinder key-operated locking device at the street-level door, though the current status of this violation is not specified in the records. The property has been proactive in meeting bedbug reporting requirements in recent years, with the most recent filing (July 2025) indicating zero infested or eradicated units during the 2023-2024 reporting period.
