71-74 161st Street, Queens, NY 11365

Kenny Wong's 3-story residential building at 71-74 161st Street in Flushing, constructed in 2007, has consistently undergone inspections and faced several compliance challenges over the past few years. Most notably, there has been an open Class C housing maintenance code violation since December 2019 regarding missing or defective window guards in the third-story apartment, which poses a potential safety risk.

The building has a concerning pattern of access denial for inspections related to certificate of occupancy (CO) compliance, with ten such complaints filed between 2018 and 2021, all concluding with "Access Denied – 2nd Attempt" outcomes. The most recent building-specific violation occurred in April 2021, when the property failed to file its required annual bedbug report, though subsequent bedbug reporting from 2024 has shown no current infestations, with the most recent report indicating no infested units and no units requiring treatment in the previous year. The property's bedbug history shows some treatment activity, particularly in the June 2024 filing, which noted three units were eradicated but had re-infestation issues.

However, this appears to be an isolated incident as subsequent reports from 2024-2025 show no continuing infestation problems. The building's certificate of occupancy compliance issues, spanning from 2018-2021, suggest ongoing concerns regarding proper authorization for building modifications or uses, though no recent complaints about illegal conversion have been recorded since 2022. While the bedbug situation appears to be under control based on recent filings, the outstanding window guard violation and historical access denial pattern for CO inspections are notable issues, though the age of these violations (dating back to 2019 and 2021, respectively) suggests they may have been addressed, pending updated inspection verification.
