108-10 43rd Avenue, Queens, NY 11368

The three-story, three-unit building at 108-10 43rd Avenue in Corona, owned by Jianfeng Chen and constructed in 2005, has experienced significant maintenance and safety issues in recent months. Most notably, in November 2024, the building received multiple emergency complaints that HPD was unable to inspect, including concerns about cooking gas, heat/hot water, broken window guards, water leaks, mold, carbon monoxide detectors, door security, and pest control.

These complaints were subsequently addressed through Housing Maintenance Code Complaints filed on the same day, with most issues categorized as emergencies. The building was also cited for having an illegally fastened double cylinder lock on the entrance security door in November 2024, though this violation was certified for correction by late November. While the building's recent history shows serious ongoing maintenance challenges, it's worth noting that the property has maintained a consistent record of reporting and addressing bedbug inspections, with no documented infestations or eradications in the past five reporting periods from 2019 to 2025.

Previous Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2021 to 2023 primarily related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports. Two complaints about possible illegal conversions of adjacent properties (113-68) were filed and closed in early 2024, though inspectors were unable to gain access to the properties for verification. Earlier building history shows passed rodent inspections in 2014 and 2015, but these issues can no longer be considered current.
