137-04 Booth Memorial Ave, Queens, NY 11355

The three-unit, three-story residential building at 137-04 Booth Memorial Avenue in Flushing, owned by Victoria Katchis, has been facing persistent administrative challenges over the past four years. Most notably, the property has accumulated four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2021 through 2024, all related to failure to file the required annual bedbug reports as mandated by HPD rules.

These open violations suggest ongoing noncompliance with health and safety documentation requirements, though they do not necessarily indicate an active pest infestation. In late 2024, there was a complaint regarding an alleged illegal conversion at the property, specifically relating to an address on Booth Memorial Avenue (11355), with the complaint filed on October 2, 2024.

This complaint was closed in January 2025 after inspectors made two attempts to gain access to the premises but were unable to do so, resulting in an inconclusive outcome regarding the validity of the conversion claim. The building, constructed in 1940 and currently designated as "Hereafter Converted Class A," has maintained its original structure despite these compliance challenges, though the persistent bedbug report violations and the recent conversion complaint raise questions about the property’s current maintenance practices and compliance with housing regulations.
