101-31 103rd Street, Queens, NY 11416

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 101-31 103rd Street in Ozone Park, owned by Muhammad Afzal, was constructed in 1970 and has undergone a conversion to Class A status. The building has been subject to recurring housing maintenance code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent violations dating from March 2023 and April 2024, both remaining open as of the current date.

These violations pertain to the failure to file the required annual bedbug reports with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), as mandated by Housing Maintenance Code § HMC. Notably, while there were violations recorded in 2021 and 2022 as well, those were closed after the building filed the appropriate reports. The bedbug reporting history shows that the building's owner did submit reports for the 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 reporting periods, indicating no infested dwelling units or instances of eradication or re-infestation during those cycles.

The most recent bedbug report for the 2020-2021 period was filed on May 17, 2022, and the prior one on June 10, 2021. Both reports documented zero infested units, suggesting the building underwent appropriate remediation during the reporting periods, despite the ongoing violations regarding the timeliness of report submissions. The pattern of violations indicates a recurring issue with compliance rather than a bedbug infestation problem per se, as the actual infestation rates appear to be effectively managed based on the reported data.
