90-70 51st Avenue, Queens, NY 11373

Located at 90-70 51st Avenue in Elmhurst, this 4-story, 14-unit residential building was constructed in 1989 and is currently owned by Andy Lee. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, with the most recent significant incident being a heavy water leak reported in April 2023.

This leak, along with previous water-related problems (including a slow leak reported in December 2021), has been problematic despite multiple complaints filed. The building has also faced challenges with pest control, including two separate complaints about unsanitary conditions related to pests in December 2021, though an April 2022 Health Department inspection found no violations. Of particular note, the building has received three separate violations between 2021-2023 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required under the Housing Maintenance Code, though subsequent filings from 2021 through mid-2025 indicate no actual bedbug infestations during those periods.

The property has maintained compliance with rodent inspections, passing all recent checks in 2022 and 2015. Multiple complaints in 2021-2022 regarding door/window issues were also recorded, though inspections were unable to access the affected areas. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues requiring tenant complaints and official inspections, it's worth noting that many violations and complaints were either resolved or closed due to lack of access for inspections, and recent bedbug reports demonstrate proper management of this specific concern despite previous violations.
