61-38 172nd Street, Queens, NY 11365

This 3-unit, 3-story residential building located at 61-38 172nd Street in Flushing was constructed in 2015 and is currently owned by Stephen Riccardi. The building has experienced recurring violations related to bedbug reporting requirements between 2021 and 2023, with five documented violations of Housing Maintenance Code § HMC requiring the filing of annual bedbug reports.

However, these violations appear to be related to administrative non-compliance rather than actual pest infestations, as evidenced by the building's bedbug reporting history. Between 2019 and 2024, all quarterly bedbug reports filed with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) consistently showed zero infested dwelling units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units, indicating successful pest management and eradication efforts. The most recent bedbug report for the filing period of 2022-2023, submitted on March 19, 2024, confirmed the absence of any bedbug infestations during that period.

The building's documented violations from 2021 through 2023 were all subsequently closed, and no new violations have been recorded in the past two years. This suggests that the property has addressed its previous reporting compliance issues, though it is worth noting that the pattern of violations could indicate some initial difficulty with adhering to HPD's bedbug reporting requirements when they were first implemented. Since 2022, there have been no reported bedbug violations or infestations, and the building's current bedbug report is up to date as of March 2024.
