165-17 65th Avenue, Queens, NY 11365

The three-story, three-unit building at 165-17 65th Avenue in Flushing, owned by Chenxi Shao and constructed in 1970, has experienced a recurring pattern of violations related to bedbug reporting compliance over the past several years. Most notably, there are two open violations dating from 2023 and 2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, which is a Class A violation under the Housing Maintenance Code.

The building has also undergone various maintenance issues, particularly in 2019 when multiple violations were recorded, including problems with door self-closing mechanisms at multiple building entrances and specific apartments (1FL and 3), as well as issues with hot water temperature exceeding 130°F in Apartment 3, and damage to plastered surfaces requiring repair in that same unit. An emergency complaint regarding a door/window issue was filed in September 2019 and subsequently resolved in October 2019. The building's recent bedbug reporting history shows no infested units between November 2021 and October 2022, and again between November 2020 and October 2021, with no units requiring eradication or experiencing re-infestation during those periods.

However, it is worth noting that despite these reported conditions, there remains one open violation regarding bedbug reporting compliance from 2024. In 2019, there was also a complaint about an illegal conversion of the building, though the inspection in January 2020 was unable to gain access for verification. While the building's documented issues have been primarily administrative and maintenance-related rather than safety concerns, the recurring nature of the bedbug reporting violations suggests ongoing challenges with regulatory compliance.
