104-70 47th Avenue, Queens, NY 11368

The property at 104-70 47th Avenue in Corona, a 2-story, 3-unit building constructed in 1920, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over recent years. Most notably, there has been an ongoing rodent problem, with the most recent inspections in 2025 showing both rat activity and violations requiring follow-up inspections, though a compliance inspection in late May 2025 passed.

The building has maintained consistent bedbug reporting compliance between 2021 and 2024, with all reports indicating zero infested or re-infested dwelling units, despite receiving bedbug-related violations in previous years (2021-2024). Multiple water-related issues have been documented, including a slow leak complaint from 2019 that remained open until early 2020, and other plumbing concerns investigated in 2018. The building's history includes three unsuccessful attempts to gain access during inspections between 2018-2020 (for illegal conversion, training compliance, and Local Law 188/17 compliance) though these complaints were ultimately resolved with no violations found.

The property has had several Housing Maintenance Code violations over the past few years, including four separate citations between 2021-2024 for not filing the annual bedbug report (though the most recent filings indicate compliance with zero infested units), and electrical wiring violations that were classified as emergencies in 2019. Various Department of Buildings permits have been issued for the property, including plumbing work in 2019 and electrical work in late 2020. While the building has had its share of maintenance issues, many of the most serious problems appear to have been addressed, with recent inspections generally showing improved compliance, though the ongoing rodent situation remains a concern requiring attention.
