84-59 162nd Street, Queens, NY 11432

The property at 84-59 162nd Street in Jamaica Hills is a 2-story, 3-unit residential building constructed in 2006 and currently owned by Abul Kalam. The building has a documented history of pest control challenges, particularly regarding bedbugs, with violations recorded in 2021, 2022, 2023, and most recently in April 2024, all related to the failure to file the required annual bedbug reports as mandated by the Housing Maintenance Code.

The most recent bedbug report filed in May 2024 indicated a concerning pattern, with all three units having experienced infestations, though the report also noted successful eradication of these infestations. Prior to this, an earlier bedbug report from July 2021 showed no infestations between November 2019 and October 2020.

The building's pest control history also includes significant rodent control efforts in 2017, with multiple bait applications documented between May and August of that year, though inspections during this period generally failed for "Other Reasons." Two rodent inspections conducted in June 2018 also resulted in failures. More recently, in October 2023, a permit was issued for work classified as EW under job number 440806843. While the bedbug situation appears to have been addressed in recent months, the building's history reflects persistent challenges with both bedbug and rodent infestations, particularly during the 2017-2018 period, with recent annual reporting violations continuing through 2024.
