103-52 52nd Avenue, Queens, NY 11368

This three-unit residential building at 103-52 52nd Avenue in Corona, owned by Thomson Bai=o and constructed in 2014, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over its history. Most recently, in 2025, the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene responded to a complaint about unsanitary animal conditions, though no violations were found. In late 2022, there was a heat and hot water complaint that was investigated but resulted in no violations.

Two pest-related complaints were filed in January 2019, but inspectors were unable to gain access for evaluation. The building currently has six open violations from a March 2023 inspection, primarily related to safety and maintenance requirements, including the need to properly post notices regarding carbon monoxide detection, smoke detection, and emergency procedures. The building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug management, with recent filings in 2024 and 2023 reporting zero infested units, suggesting effective monitoring and maintenance practices.

The property's history with rodent inspections shows a pattern of problems in 2010-2012, with multiple initial and compliance inspections resulting in failures for "Other Reasons" during that period, though it passed an initial inspection in June 2025. The building's documentation shows active management of pest control issues, with multiple bait applications noted in 2010. Violation records indicate various safety notice requirements that are currently not being met, including missing emergency procedure postings and safety equipment requirements, though some past violations have been properly closed, such as the smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector issues in January 2023.
