46-15 48th Avenue, Queens, NY 11377

The 46-15 48th Avenue building in Sunnyside, a 3-story, 4-unit New Law Tenement built in 1928 and owned by Mark Levine, has experienced persistent water-related issues in recent years. Between late 2023 and 2024, there were multiple complaints regarding water leaks, damp spots, and ceiling problems, particularly affecting apartments 2R and 3F. While several of these complaints resulted in violations, inspections generally found no violations warranting penalties.

More recently, in September 2024, emergency complaints were filed regarding multiple safety concerns, including problems with the roof, fire escape, and window guards, with at least one violation noted about defective window guards throughout public areas. These safety concerns follow a pattern of maintenance issues documented over the past few years, including problems with self-closing doors and exterior maintenance in 2024. The building's history shows consistent maintenance challenges, though recent bedbug filings (2022-2025) and rodent inspections (2017) indicate no current pest issues.

Three construction-related complaints from 2021 regarding work beyond approved plans were submitted, but inspectors were unable to gain access during final attempts, and ultimately no violations were warranted. The property has been subject to various Housing Maintenance Code violations and complaints, with many being resolved through repair work and correction of identified issues. The pattern of complaints suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding water-related problems and safety features, though the absence of recent bedbug infestations is notable.
