97-01 55th Avenue, Queens, NY 11368

The 8-unit, 4-story building at 97-01 55th Avenue in Corona, owned by Fengzhu Wang, was constructed in 1920 and has undergone conversion to Class A status. Recent months have seen a cluster of maintenance issues, particularly in late 2024, when multiple complaints were filed regarding ventilation systems, flooring conditions, unsafe mold (including indoor air quality concerns), and general unsanitary conditions. While some of these issues were reported as resolved through HPD communication, a more recent complaint about unsafe mold cleanup was recorded in December 2024.

The building has also been subject to several Department of Buildings inspections throughout 2023-2024, primarily related to work without permits, after-hours work violations, and construction safety compliance issues. A notable incident occurred in March 2023 when a stop work order violation was issued for non-compliant after-hours work. However, all recent inspections related to these complaints generally resulted in "No Violation Warranted" findings or compliance inspections.

The property appears to have maintained a relatively good record regarding bedbug infestations, with official reports for the periods ending October 2023 and October 2024 showing no confirmed infestations, eradications, or re-infestations in any dwelling units. This suggests effective pest management practices in recent years. While the building has experienced various maintenance challenges, particularly concerning ventilation and mold issues, many complaints have been addressed through communication with management, and recent inspections have not consistently found violations warranting further action. The most recent housing maintenance code complaints from December 2024 have been marked as closed, though one involved emergency categorization related to mold.
