53-48 97th Street, Queens, NY 11368

The two-story, four-unit residential building at 53-48 97th Street in Corona, owned by Wenjin Lin and constructed in 1930, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years, though recent records suggest improvements in overall building conditions. Between 2021 and 2023, the property dealt with multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations, particularly affecting Apartment 1, which had open Class C violations in 2022 regarding lead-based paint hazards and self-closing door issues, along with various other repairs needed in common areas.

Notably, there were recurring violations concerning the filing of annual bedbug reports from 2021 through 2023, though recent filings from 2024-2025 indicate no current infestations or re-infestations. The building has shown progress in terms of pest control and maintenance compliance in recent years. As of 2023 and 2024, there have been no recorded bedbug infestations or related issues, and the property successfully passed a rodent inspection in June 2023.

A 311 complaint regarding unsanitary pigeon conditions in June 2023 was investigated by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, which found no violations. The most recent bedbug report filing in May 2025 for the period ending October 2024 indicates a clean record with zero affected units. While a significant number of violations were documented during 2022, many of these were addressed and closed, as evidenced by the building's most current maintenance records, suggesting an upward trend in property management and maintenance compliance.
