158-04 79th Avenue, Queens, NY 11366

The 8-unit, 3-story building at 158-04 79th Avenue in Flushing, owned by Harry Tran and constructed in 2007, has experienced several notable issues since our most recent data update in October 2023. The building has current active violations related to elevator inspection requirements, specifically a failure to file the 2022 external low-pressure inspection (issued April 2023) and failure to perform a Category 5 inspection (issued December 2021).

Additionally, there is a historical pattern of inspection-related violations from 2019-2021 concerning the elevator's Category 1 inspection/test. The property has had three consecutive years (2021-2023) of bedbug report violations, though recent filings (December 2023 and April 2025) indicate no infested dwelling units, suggesting successful extermination efforts. There have been two recent complaints to the Department of Buildings: one in March 2025 regarding failure to maintain (complaint number 4985059) with inspection access denied, and another in September 2024 concerning building shaking/vibrating concerns (complaint number 4971745) which resulted in no violations being warranted at the time of inspection.

The building faced multiple Environmental Control Board violations between 2020-2021, primarily regarding non-compliance with commissioner orders related to work done without proper permits, with penalty amounts ranging from $6,250 to $12,500 for each violation. While many of these violations show as resolved, there was one recent active penalty of $2,500 issued in January 2020. The property's management has demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements in recent years, with the most recent reports showing no current infestations or re-infestations.
