32-18 101st Street, Queens, NY 11369

The property at 32-18 101st Street in East Elmhurst is a 2-story, 3-unit building constructed in 1920, currently owned by Guoyu Guo. The building experienced significant electrical system issues in January 2020, with multiple complaints about inadequate lighting leading to four emergency Housing Maintenance Code complaints.

While some cases were resolved promptly, violations were issued in at least two instances. A comprehensive inspection on January 24, 2020, revealed various safety concerns in the basement apartment (BASEME), including defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, electrical issues with ceiling light fixtures, and security concerns related to an illegally fastened double cylinder key-operated lock gate. While some of these violations were subsequently closed, several remained open as of 2023, including issues with smoke detector functionality and an illegal entrance gate lock.

The building underwent more recent inspections related to bedbug reporting requirements in 2022-2023 and 2023-2024, resulting in three consecutive filings showing no infestation (0 infested dwelling units) during the reporting periods. The property seems to have improved its overall condition since the 2020 issues, as evidenced by the absence of recent electrical complaints since the January 2020 incidents, and the successful filing of bedbug reports showing no infestation issues. However, the building's history shows a period of maintenance challenges in early 2020, particularly regarding electrical systems and safety equipment, which should be noted when considering the property's historical performance.
