147-21 Glassboro Avenue, Queens, NY 11435

The three-unit residential building at 147-21 Glassboro Avenue in Jamaica, owned by Jeanette Ruffins, has a construction history dating back to 1925. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years, with a particular focus on safety system compliance.

In August 2021, multiple violations were recorded including defective smoke detector and carbon monoxide detecting device issues in the second-floor apartment, as well as concerns regarding self-closing doors in both the boiler room and the entrance area of the first-floor apartment, all of which were subsequently resolved by August 31, 2021. The building has also been subject to recurring requirements to file annual bedbug reports between 2021 and 2023, with the most recent inspection in March 2023 resulting in the same notification, though this appears to be related to reporting requirements rather than actual infestations, as all bedbug reports from 2019 through 2025 indicate zero infested or eradicated units, with no re-infestations recorded.

Notably, the property has maintained a consistent record of bedbug management compliance, with the most recent bedbug report filing in May 2025 covering the 2023-2024 period showing no infestation activity. The building's violations, while frequent regarding bedbug reporting requirements and one instance of safety system issues, have generally been addressed by their respective compliance dates, with all recorded violations showing "Close" status. The property's recent history from 2022 to the present shows improved compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no recorded violations of this nature since the March 2023 inspection.
