53-06 97th Street is a three-story, three-unit residential building in Corona, built in 1970 and currently owned by Lai Sim Zheng. The property has experienced recurring issues with heat/hot water and electrical systems over the past several years, with the most recent incidents occurring between December 2024 and May 2025.
Three significant emergencies were reported in 2024-2025, including an electrical lighting issue in December 2024 that could not be inspected, an entire-building heat/hot water problem in December 2024 that was reportedly resolved, and a March 2024 appliance issue involving a refrigerator that also could not be inspected. The building has an open violation from March 2024 regarding household articles in the public hall, and several unresolved safety-related violations from earlier inspections, including issues with building entrance security, inspection certificate postings, and gas leak notification requirements. The property has a documented history of infrastructure problems, particularly concerning essential services like heat/hot water and lighting systems, with multiple emergency complaints filed between 2019 and 2024.
While there were bedbug-related violations in 2019-2020 requiring attention, subsequent annual bedbug reports from 2022-2025 show no infested units, suggesting successful eradication. The building's rodent inspection records from 2013 indicate ongoing pest control measures were being implemented at that time, with bait applied on multiple occasions. Most recently, the building has undergone several inspections leading to open violations, indicating regulatory compliance challenges that remain unresolved as of 2024.
