224-11 Braddock Avenue, Queens, NY 11428

Located in Bellerose, Queens, 224-11 Braddock Avenue is a three-story, three-unit residential building constructed in 1960 and currently owned by Makhan Singh. The building has experienced recurring bedbug-related issues over the past several years, as evidenced by four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2021 through 2024, all related to the failure to file required annual bedbug reports with the NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

These violations, while marked as "closed," indicate a pattern of non-compliance with bedbug reporting requirements. The most recent bedbug report, filed on April 29, 2024, covered the period from November 1, 2022, to October 31, 2023, and documented one infested dwelling unit, though it is noteworthy that there were no eradication efforts completed at the time of reporting, nor any subsequent re-infestations reported.

This is the first documented bedbug incident in the current reporting period, following three years of presumably unreported conditions, given the pattern of violations for failing to submit the required documentation. The building's bedbug history, while showing some recent compliance with filing requirements, suggests ongoing monitoring and attention to pest management practices are necessary, given the previous pattern of violations and the nature of infestation reporting requirements.
