52-09 90th Street, Queens, NY 11373

52-09 90th Street is a 15-unit, 3-story residential building constructed in 1973 in the Elmhurst neighborhood, currently owned by Virachart Pokpoonpipat. The property has experienced recurring issues with its heating and hot water systems, most notably in July 2024 when multiple emergency complaints were filed and subsequently addressed by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), resulting in several violations related to inadequate hot water supply affecting multiple units (notably Apartments 3A and 4D). The building has also faced plumbing challenges during this period, with multiple water supply-related complaints and violations being documented.

Additional violations were recorded in July 2024 concerning building safety features, including problems with door self-closing mechanisms and fire retardant materials in common areas such as the laundry room and public stairway. Historical records show that the building underwent a significant number of inspections for rodent activity between 2015-2019, though more recent pest control filings from 2019 onward indicate no infestations were reported. A 2020 unsanitary condition complaint related to pests was closed without violations.

The Department of Buildings conducted inspections in 2022 regarding an illegal conversion complaint and in 2024 concerning boiler issues, though no violations were found in either case. The building's maintenance history shows regular bedbug reporting from 2019 to 2025, with all reports indicating zero infested units. The property has experienced various infrastructure and maintenance challenges over the years, with the most pressing and recent concerns being the hot water and heating system deficiencies that have affected multiple units in 2024.
