137-24 Booth Memorial Ave, Queens, NY 11355

137-24 Booth Memorial Ave is a 3-story, 3-unit residential building in Flushing, constructed in 1945, currently owned by Ding Liang Cao. The property has experienced recurring pest-related issues, with multiple reports of unsanitary conditions related to pests, garbage, and recycling storage between 2019 and 2020. Notably, there were three separate pest complaints on September 2, 2020, and a rat sighting reported in November 2019, which resulted in failed initial inspection.

The building has been subject to four illegal conversion complaints between 2019 and 2020, though in three instances (most notably in March 2019 and October 2019) inspections found no violations warranting action. There have been three consecutive annual bedbug report violations noted between 2021-2023 for failure to file required documentation, though recent filings (most recently in February 2024) indicate no infested units were present during the 2022-2023 period. The property's inspection history shows some concerning patterns, particularly regarding pest management, though the situation appears to have improved in recent years.

The building has successfully completed its annual bedbug report filings since 2023, with documentation showing zero infested units during the reporting periods. While there were multiple housing maintenance code complaints during 2020, recent records suggest improved conditions, with no new pest-related complaints in 2021-2023. The building's current status indicates all major violations have been closed, though the history of illegal conversion complaints and pest-related issues may warrant continued monitoring.
