52-16 90th Street, Queens, NY 11373

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 52-16 90th Street in Elmhurst, owned by Chunfai Li, has experienced several significant events since its construction in 1975. Most notably, between 2019 and 2020, there were multiple complaints regarding illegal conversions of the property, with inspections in 2019 and 2020 resulting in inspectors unable to gain access.

These conversion allegations were substantiated with Environmental Control Board violations in March 2020, including unauthorized occupancy beyond the legally approved number of families and unpermitted construction work on the third floor, for which penalties totaling $3,125 were imposed (though records show a balance due of $0). The building has faced recurring administrative violations related to bedbug reporting requirements from 2021 through 2024, though the most recent bedbug inspection filings indicate no infestation issues for the period ending October 2023.

A refrigerator-related service complaint was filed in August 2019, but the Department of Housing Preservation and Development was unable to gain access for inspection. The property has maintained some standards of pest control, with rodent inspections in 2015 showing one pass and one initial failure for other reasons. A permit for work was issued in January 2021, suggesting some acknowledgment of necessary improvements, though the specific nature of the work is not detailed in the provided records.
