90-20 55th Avenue, Queens, NY 11373

The 20-unit, 4-story residential building at 90-20 55th Avenue in Elmhurst, constructed in 2004 and currently owned by Rui Li Yukan Xiang, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over the years. Most notably, there are multiple active violations related to annual bedbug reporting requirements from 2021 through 2024. The building has also faced challenges with its heating system, including a documented heat and hot water emergency in November 2021, and several boiler-related violations including an active ECB violation from 2024 regarding failure to comply with commissioner's orders and an outstanding penalty of $6,250.

Three ECB violations from March 2021 concerning missing switches for boiler relief valves are also active, along with an unresolved violation from 2019 for failing to file annual boiler inspection reports. The property has a history of pest-related concerns, with multiple 311 complaints regarding unsanitary conditions involving animals and pigeons between 2019 and 2022. There have been two recent health department investigations into day care facility complaints in 2024 and 2022, though the specific outcomes of these investigations are not detailed in the records.

A brief heat/hot water outage in 2021 was resolved within three days, and there was one incident in 2021 involving a non-self-closing exit door at a daycare facility, which was subsequently resolved. Building inspections for rodent compliance in 2019 resulted in failure for "other reasons," though an initial inspection from 2015 had passed. The elevator and other systems appear to be functioning normally, as no related complaints or violations are on record. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues over the years, particularly regarding pest control and boiler systems, many of the historical violations have been resolved, though several key compliance issues remain open as of 2024.
