40-55 97th Street, Queens, NY 11368

The 4-unit residential building at 40-55 97th Street in Corona, owned by Xiaozhuang Wu, has experienced several maintenance issues since its construction in 1988, though recent records indicate improved conditions. The most recent concerns involved multiple bedbug violation notices from 2019-2024 regarding missing safety notices, though these violations have since been closed. The building had three documented tenant complaints in 2019, including heat/hot water issues and problems with an electric/gas range, all of which were resolved promptly.

A significant inspection in December 2019 resulted in multiple violations related to safety notice postings, including carbon monoxide detector requirements, smoke detector requirements, and gas leak procedures, though these have also been addressed. The building's bedbug reporting history from 2021-2025 shows no infestations during the past five filing periods, indicating successful eradication and prevention efforts. Additionally, the property has passed all rodent inspections conducted in 2010, 2011, and 2015, suggesting good pest management practices.

The property has shown consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements in recent years, with the most recent filings in 2024 and 2025 showing zero infested units. The building has experienced periodic maintenance issues typical of older residential structures, particularly in 2019 when multiple complaints were filed and subsequently addressed. The most recent housing maintenance code violations from 2019 regarding safety notices indicate administrative oversights rather than structural or safety concerns, and these violations are now closed. The combination of timely resolution of complaints, regular bedbug reporting compliance, and passing rodent inspections suggests improved management practices in recent years, though the property's history shows typical maintenance challenges faced by older multi-unit buildings in New York City.
