178-26 Wexford Terrace, Queens, NY 11432

Located in Jamaica Estates, 178-26 Wexford Terrace is a two-story, six-unit residential building owned by Josephine Valenza and constructed in 2015. The property has experienced several maintenance issues over its history, with the most significant recent violations occurring in June 2023, when inspectors found cockroach infestation in apartment 2B and multiple self-closing door issues affecting both the building's bulkhead and front entrance.

Previous housing maintenance violations included requirements in 2021-2022 to file annual bedbug reports, and in early 2021, there were multiple violations related to required postings near mailboxes, including bedbug reporting information, heating system access, building registration numbers, and gas leak procedures. The building underwent several 311 service requests between 2019-2020 for various issues, including unsanitary garbage storage and lighting concerns, though records indicate access was not granted for the lighting inspection. The property's history shows a particular attention to pest control, with regular rodent inspections and bait application between October 2018 and March 2019, during which "rat activity" was documented.

Through five consecutive bedbug reporting cycles from 2019 through 2025, the building has maintained a record of zero infested units, indicating successful eradication efforts. While the building's age suggests it should meet contemporary building standards, the recurring nature of some maintenance issues, particularly regarding doors and pest management systems, suggests ongoing attention to building maintenance requirements. The most recent bedbug report from July 2025 confirms no current infestations as of the filing period from November 2023 to October 2024.
