40-49 99th Street, Queens, NY 11368

The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 40-49 99th Street in Corona, owned by Kenny Yang and built in 1931, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past years, with the most pressing concerns relating to building safety and pest management. The property has documented a recurring pattern of paperwork violations regarding bedbug reporting compliance from 2021 through 2024, though recent filings (from May 2023 and June 2024) indicated no infested units during the reporting periods covering 2022-2023. A cluster of violations was recorded in August 2019, primarily affecting apartment 6, including issues with self-closing doors, fire egress safety, and a problematic key-operated double cylinder lock at the front entrance.

There were also concerns about a refrigerator being improperly stored in a public hall on the third story, though this and other violations were marked as closed in subsequent inspections. The building's rodent inspection history shows mixed results between 2010 and 2015, with some initial inspections failing for "Other Reasons" before passing subsequent compliance checks. The most recent documented inspection of the building occurred in April 2024, which revealed an outstanding violation regarding the required annual bedbug report filing under Housing Maintenance Code § HMC, though prior years showed compliance.

A September 2023 complaint regarding unsafe/demo activities was investigated and determined to warrant no violations. While the building has had multiple violations over the years, many have been addressed and closed, particularly those relating to fire safety and pest management. The property does appear to have maintained basic compliance with rodent control measures in recent years, passing the most recent rodent inspections.
