104-53 42nd Avenue, Queens, NY 11368

The 8-unit, 4-story building at 104-53 42nd Avenue in Corona, owned by Xiaoke Tang, has been through several significant events since its construction in 1989. Most recently, as of July 2025, there are active violations regarding the failure to file external low-pressure inspections for both 2018 and 2021, which represent ongoing safety compliance issues.

The building has experienced various maintenance and safety incidents over the years, including a carbon monoxide detector complaint in 2021 that was investigated by HPD with no violations found, and multiple pest-related complaints in August 2018 that also resulted in no violations. More concerning was a Class C violation issued in May 2021 for a roach infestation in apartment 2A, though records indicate it was subsequently addressed by July 2021.

Despite these issues, the building has shown improvements in recent years, with no reported bedbug infestations in any of the annual bedbug reporting periods from 2020 through 2025, and successful passing of rodent inspections in 2015 and 2017. Historical violations included a requirement to file annual bedbug reports and to properly display inspection certificates near mailboxes, which suggest some lapses in documentation and communication procedures. While many past complaints were resolved without violations being issued, the current active DOB violations related to external low-pressure inspections represent the most significant outstanding compliance issue as of mid-2025.
