108-33 46th Avenue, Queens, NY 11368

The three-story, four-unit building at 108-33 46th Avenue in Corona, owned by Henry Sze and constructed in 1988, has experienced several notable issues over the past few years. Most significantly, in August 2023, multiple emergency complaints were filed and subsequently investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), including concerns about water supply, heavy water leaks, window frames, flooring, and ceiling conditions. While these complaints were closed without violations being issued, they indicate some maintenance challenges.

The building also faced several regulatory compliance issues in 2023, including locked access to the heating system, hot water problems in apartment 3, and defective self-closing doors in apartment 3, all of which were classified as Class C violations. Additional violations from August 2023 required the building management to address various notification and documentation requirements, including smoke detector requirements, heating system access, and proper posting of inspection certificates. The property has maintained a consistent record of successful bedbug reporting compliance between 2020-2024, with no reported infestations in any unit during this period.

However, the building's rodent inspection history shows mixed results, with failures recorded in September 2017 and August 2017, though it passed in January 2015 and June 2012. Two complaints regarding illegal conversion and zoning non-conformity were filed and closed in 2019 and 2021, respectively, with no violations found upon inspection. The building is currently up to date with its bedbug reporting requirements as of April 2024, with all previous years showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units.
