50-12 103rd Street, Queens, NY 11368

The three-unit, three-story residential building at 50-12 103rd Street in Corona, owned by Bing Kang Chen and constructed in 1920, has experienced multiple recurring compliance issues over the past several years. Most significantly, there is an open Housing Maintenance Code violation from April 2024 regarding the failure to file the required annual bedbug report, a violation that has persisted through 2023, 2022, and 2021.

The building has also faced rodent-related challenges, with a notable complaint in August 2022 about conditions attracting rodents, which resulted in Department of Health violations and required follow-up inspections, though a subsequent October 2022 compliance inspection passed. The property experienced a significant incident in 2019 involving unauthorized construction work when the garage was converted into an apartment with new electrical and plumbing installations, leading to an Environmental Control Board violation that resulted in a $620 penalty, though this was later resolved.

Following this incident, proper permits were obtained in October 2019 for the work. The building's rodent inspection history shows mixed results, with initial inspections in 2016 and September 2022 showing failures or rat activity, though subsequent compliance inspections have passed. The persistent nature of the bedbug report violation and the history of rodent-related issues indicate ongoing challenges with building maintenance compliance, while the 2019 unauthorized construction incident suggests previous management oversight regarding property modifications.
