88-45 Pitkin Avenue, Queens, NY 11417

The three-unit residential building at 88-45 Pitkin Avenue in Ozone Park, owned by Xiao Yang, was constructed in 2009 and has experienced several notable events regarding tenant comfort and building maintenance. Most recently, in January 2024, there was a heat and hot water complaint that the Department of Housing Preservation and Development was unable to investigate due to lack of access to the apartment(s) in question.

The building has recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance, having received multiple violations between 2021-2024 for failure to file the required annual bedbug report, with open violations noted in both 2022 and 2023. The building's maintenance history shows both open and closed violations, with the most critical safety-related matter occurring in July 2021 when violations were documented regarding self-closing doors in the boiler room, though these were subsequently closed after certification of correction.

Several open violations from 2019 remain unresolved, including requirements to post various mandatory notices in the building, such as the registration number, housing information guide availability, inspection certificate, and carbon monoxide detector requirements. While a bedbug report was filed for the period of November 2019 to October 2020 showing no infestations, the recurring violation notices suggest ongoing compliance challenges. The building's most recent documented inspection violation from April 2024 regarding bedbug reporting requirements stands out as the most current issue, though the exact resolution status is not provided in the available data.
