100-05 40th Road, Queens, NY 11368

The three-story, two-family home at 100-05 40th Road in Corona, built in 1920 and currently owned by David Miao, has experienced several significant issues over the past years, most notably in 2019-2021. The building has been subject to multiple Housing Maintenance Code complaints, including emergency heat and hot water issues in December 2020 and pest-related sanitary concerns in September 2020, both of which were eventually resolved.

More seriously, in 2019, the property faced substantial violations related to unauthorized modifications, with multiple DOB complaints regarding illegal conversions, unlicensed work, and construction without proper permits, leading to stop work orders and partial vacate orders. These violations prompted four active ECB violations in January 2019, including unauthorized occupancy, electrical work without permits, and plumbing work violations, each carrying significant penalties. The building's maintenance history shows a concerning pattern of rodent issues between 2010-2011, with multiple failed inspections indicating rat activity, though a passing rodent inspection in 2015 suggests some improvement.

While there were no documented complaints between 2021 and 2023, the presence of four active ECB violations as of 2019 related to electrical work, plumbing work, and improper occupancy remains a significant concern, representing a total of $10,600 in penalties. Additional DOB violations from 2019 regarding failure to certify corrections on immediately hazardous conditions also stand as active violations. The most recent documented 311 complaints were resolved within reasonable timeframes, with heat and hot water issues being restored within five days, though this remains a point of concern given the historical context.
