104-21 48th Avenue, Queens, NY 11368

The three-unit residential building at 104-21 48th Avenue in Corona, owned by Chung Him Lam, has experienced several maintenance issues since its construction in 2004, with particular concern over recent plumbing and pest problems. In 2024 alone, there were three sets of service requests and violations related to plumbing (toilets), door/window issues (including frames and doors), and unsanitary conditions (pests), with some complaints going initially unaddressed due to inspection access issues.

Notably, a plumbing emergency complaint from February 2024 and one from June 2024 were documented, though all these issues were eventually closed with no violations cited by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). Earlier history shows repeated concerns about heat and hot water systems in late 2018/early 2019, and the building has maintained an annual bedbug report filing showing zero infestation cases from 2019 through 2025, with all previous bedbug-related violations from 2021-2023 being properly addressed. The building's rodent inspections in 2012 and 2015 both passed successfully, indicating good pest control practices in that regard.

The most recent issues have been categorized as non-emergency following inspections in June 2024, including door frame, pest, and toilet problems, all of which were closed shortly after being reported. While the building has had its share of maintenance issues, particularly relating to plumbing and door/window infrastructure, the management has generally responded to complaints, though not always with immediate access for inspections. The property has shown compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no reported infestations in the past several years, and it's important to note that while there have been multiple service requests, many were resolved quickly and did not result in formal violations or fines.
