103-27 97th Street, Queens, NY 11417

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 103-27 97th Street in Ozone Park, owned by Murari Das, has been subject to recurring bedbug reporting violations over the past several years. Most concerning is the building's current open violation from April 2024 regarding non-compliance with the Housing Maintenance Code's annual bedbug reporting requirements, following a similar open violation in March 2023.

These violations reflect a pattern of documentation issues, though it's worth noting that during the reported 2020-2021 bedbug reporting period, all three units experienced infestations, with records showing both eradication and re-infestation in the same units. Earlier reporting periods showed varying degrees of infestation, including two units affected in 2019-2020, though subsequent reports in 2020-2021 indicated no infestations. Looking back through the building's history, it appears that after the initial rodent inspection in September 2011, which passed, there have been no recorded rodent-related issues.

The building was constructed in 2004 and has maintained its Class A designation. The persistent bedbug reporting violations, concentration in all units during certain periods, and the current open violations are the most significant concerns on record for this property, suggesting ongoing challenges with adherence to bedbug reporting requirements. While the building has demonstrated some capacity for addressing infestations, as evidenced by eradication efforts, the recurring issues with documentation and reporting requirements remain noteworthy.
