104-18 101st Avenue, Queens, NY 11416

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 104-18 101st Avenue in Ozone Park, owned by Maria Castro, has been subject to recurring Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements over the past several years. Most recently, in 2024 and 2023, the building received "open" violations for failing to file the annual bedbug report as required by HPD rules, while a violation from 2022 was marked as "closed." Despite these violations, the building's 2022 bedbug report indicates that while no units were infested during the reporting period, all three units had previously experienced infestations that were eradicated, with no re-infestations reported.

The property has also been associated with three Department of Buildings complaints between 2021 and 2023 regarding potential illegal conversions and unauthorized work, all related to the address 114-16 (which may be an adjacent or related property). These complaints were ultimately closed, with one marked "No Violation Warranted For Complaint At Time Of Inspection" in January 2023, and two others recorded "No Access" during inspection attempts in September 2021 and January 2023.

The building, constructed in 1988, falls under the "HEREAFTER ERECTED CLASS A" category, indicating it is intended for permanent residential occupancy. While the bedbug reporting violations represent a recurring compliance issue, the absence of any recorded safety violations or more severe complaints suggests that the building's overall condition may be relatively stable, with the primary concern being adherence to bedbug reporting requirements.
