108-62 38th Avenue, Queens, NY 11368

The two-story, four-unit New Law Tenement building at 108-62 38th Avenue in Jackson Heights, owned by Yun Fei Wang and constructed in 1931, is currently experiencing significant maintenance and safety issues as of July 2025. Most pressing is an open complaint from April 2025 regarding unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage, and recent rodent-related violations that resulted in failed inspections in both April and July 2025. The building has multiple open violations from a March 2024 inspection, including requirements to address safety concerns such as broken self-closing doors, defective hinges at vestibule doors, and issues with the fire retardant material and lighting.

Additional open violations relate to necessary postings for carbon monoxide detector requirements, gas leak procedures, and the building's registration number. The property has a history of various maintenance issues over the past few years, including electrical wiring problems, plumbing concerns, and multiple housing maintenance code violations. In late 2023, several non-emergency issues were documented and subsequently closed, including problems with walls, ceilings, and doors.

The building's safety features have been a particular concern, with violations cited in 2024 regarding carbon monoxide detectors, though the status of these violations as of July 2025 remains open. Notably, there was an emergency complaint in 2023 about water supply issues that was resolved within a week. The property currently has an open violation related to the annual bedbug report requirement, which remains unresolved as of April 2024, though this appears less urgent compared to current rodent and sanitation issues.
