103-54 103rd Street, Queens, NY 11417

Located in Ozone Park, this three-story, three-unit residential building at 103-54 103rd Street was constructed in 2007 and is currently owned by Serena Lee. The building has experienced multiple pest-related issues over the past several years, with significant concerns in 2022 when housing authorities documented an unsanitary condition involving pests, specifically roaches in the first-story Apartment 1, for which there remains an open violation as of the latest records. A 2022 HPD inspection also identified several administrative violations that have since been resolved, including the need for proper signage regarding gas leak procedures, bedbug reporting requirements, and various safety notices including carbon monoxide detector requirements and housing information guide availability.

While a rodent sighting was reported in late 2020, inspections conducted by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene found no violations at that time. The building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements for the most recent filing period (2022-2023), showing no infested, eradicated, or re-infested units according to the 2024 report, though previous years had shown consistent violations related to this requirement. The property has undergone several rodent inspections from 2018 to 2020, with most inspections resulting in passing grades, though there were two noted failures in 2018 for unspecified reasons.

The building's inspection history from 2018 to 2024 shows a pattern of pest-related issues and regulatory compliance challenges, particularly during 2022 when multiple violations were documented. While more recent reports suggest some improvement in bedbug management (with no reported infestations in 2024) and compliance with certain housing maintenance requirements, the building's historical pattern of pest problems and violation history indicates ongoing challenges with maintaining regulatory compliance in this area. The most recent housing maintenance code violations suggest attention needed to building safety signage and notification requirements, though many earlier violations from 2022 have been successfully closed, indicating some progress in addressing regulatory requirements.
