102-10 Lewis Avenue, Queens, NY 11368

The four-story, three-unit building at 102-10 Lewis Avenue in Corona, owned by Keung Lam and completed in 2014, has experienced several significant maintenance issues since 2021. Most notably, there have been recurring concerns with mold, including both emergency and non-emergency complaints in 2021, with HPD issuing violations in response to these conditions. The building has also faced multiple violations related to bedbug reporting requirements between 2021 and 2024, though the most recent reports from 2025 show no infestation activity.

A comprehensive inspection in September 2021 revealed multiple violations in the first-floor apartment (1STFL), including safety concerns such as missing carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, mandatory door self-closing requirements, and issues with plastered surfaces and paint. Of particular significance is an open violation related to unpermitted alterations involving two additional rooms created in the rear of the first-floor apartment, which requires legalization or restoration to its original condition. The building has undergone various inspections and received multiple violation notices between 2021 and 2024, with some violations being resolved and others remaining open.

For example, violations regarding defective plaster surfaces in the kitchen and fourth room were closed in October 2021, while issues with door self-closing and unauthorized alterations remain unresolved as of the latest inspection. The property has maintained a consistent record of submitting bedbug reports showing zero infestations since 2021. While the building's recent history shows no new major complaints or violations since 2024, the accumulated record of mold issues, safety violations, and unauthorized alterations suggests ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges that have persisted since 2021.
