10444 45th Avenue, Queens, NY 11368

The three-story, three-unit building at 10444 45th Avenue in Corona, owned by Heping Qu and constructed in 2006, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over the past years. Most significantly, in May 2020, the building experienced multiple emergency complaints including heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building, heavy water leaks, and issues with the bell/buzzer/intercom system, along with non-emergency paint/plaster concerns.

While these violations were officially closed, it's worth noting that the Department of Housing Preservation and Development was unable to gain access for inspection during this period. The building has maintained compliance with the city's bedbug reporting requirements from 2021 onwards, with no reported infestations in any of the annual filings through 2024, though violations were noted between 2021-2024 for not filing the required annual bedbug reports. Additionally, there was one DOB violation in 2019 regarding the failure to file a Cycle 1 technical report, which was dismissed in 2020.

The property's rodent inspections show a pattern of concerns in 2012 with initial failures noted in June and August, though it passed a compliance inspection in 2015. Recent inspections have shown improved conditions, with no current bedbug or rodent issues reported in the past several years. The building's age of over 17 years means it is now subject to ongoing maintenance considerations typical of older structures, but the lack of recent major violations suggests improved maintenance practices.
