52-08 90th Street, Queens, NY 11373

The three-story, 16-unit residential building at 52-08 90th Street in Elmhurst, owned by Lisa Lin and constructed in 1974, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past three years (2023-2025) that warrant attention. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water complaints, with the most recent occurring in January 2025 affecting the entire building. The property has also faced persistent water-related problems, with several complaints about slow leaks and dampness between 2023-2024, some of which resulted in violations after inspections.

Electrical system concerns, including lighting issues, have been documented in both 2023 and 2024, these too being classified as emergency situations. The building underwent significant safety compliance inspections in 2023, revealing several violations related to emergency procedures, egress requirements, and illegal locking mechanisms, though these were subsequently closed after the necessary corrections were made. The property's violation history shows attention to safety protocols, with C-class violations regarding fire egress and A-class violations concerning gas leak procedures and building notices identified in 2023. While there were two complaints about water drainage issues filed with the Department of Buildings in 2022-2023, no violations were established at the time of inspection.

Importantly, the building has maintained a clear record of bedbug reports from 2021-2025, with no infestations recorded in any of the five reporting periods. Rodent inspections show mixed results, with two failed initial inspections in 2015 and 2018 followed by successful compliance inspections, indicating improved pest management. The most recent bedbug report from June 2025 indicates zero infested units for the 2023-2024 period, suggesting effective pest control measures are in place. The building's maintenance history, while containing multiple service requests and violations, demonstrates an ongoing effort to address and resolve physical plant issues, with many complaints being investigated and closed through various means.
