57-28 164th Street, Queens, NY 11365

57-28 164th Street in Flushing is a 3-story, 3-unit residential building owned by Paul Wilson and classified as an Interim Multiple Dwelling (IMD). The building has experienced recurring bedbug reporting violations since 2021, with the most recent open violations in 2023 and 2024 related to non-compliance with annual bedbug report filing requirements, though previous reports indicate no infestations during the 2020-2021 period. The property faced significant regulatory scrutiny in 2018-2019, with multiple complaints and violations concerning illegal conversions and unauthorized construction work.

These issues included a December 2018 violation for unauthorized construction of additional rooms and bathrooms, which resulted in fines totaling $2,750 across various violations. Several access denials were recorded during inspections of these complaints, and a 2019 Environmental Control Board violation remains active concerning non-conforming construction work. The building has shown improvements in some areas, with rodent inspections in 2015 resulting in passing and failing grades, though no specific rodent-related issues have been reported since.

The property had multiple inspection attempts related to illegal conversion complaints between 2018-2022, with the Department of Buildings unable to gain access during some investigations. Recent years have seen primarily administrative violations, particularly regarding bedbug reporting requirements, though these remain open as of 2024. The building was constructed in 2000 and has maintained its 3-unit configuration, though the history of violations suggests previous attempts to modify the unit layout without proper approvals or permits.
