104-66 46th Avenue, Queens, NY 11368

The 2-story, 4-unit residential building at 104-66 46th Avenue in Corona, owned by Huimei Lai and constructed in 1931, has a documented history of maintenance and safety issues over the past several years. In February 2019, the building experienced multiple urgent problems requiring inspection by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), including issues with carbon monoxide detectors, broken window guards, water leaks with heavy flow, mold, and pest infestations. While these complaints were officially closed with no violations issued, they indicate a period of concerning conditions.

More recently, the building has shown some improvement in its maintenance record. Between 2021 and 2024, there were four consecutive notices of violation regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though these violations were classified as "Class A" and were closed. Significantly, the most recent bedbug reports for the periods between 2022-2025 (filing in 2024 and 2025) show no instances of infestation, with zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units reported.

The building has also undergone rodent inspections in 2012-2015, all resulting in "Failed for Other Reasons" status, suggesting persistent pest management challenges during that period. However, there have been no recent rodent-related complaints or inspections on record, which may indicate improvement in this area. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues over the years, the recent bedbug reporting compliance and absence of new infestation cases is a positive development, though the historical pattern of violations suggests that residents should remain attentive to building maintenance matters.
