47-45 47th Street, Queens, NY 11377

The 6-unit, 3-story residential building at 47-45 47th Street in Sunnyside, owned by Dennis Law, has a documented history of maintenance and pest issues since 2018, with the most pressing concern being a recent rodent problem. As of early 2025, Health Department inspections in January and February resulted in failures for "Other Reasons," and a January 2025 rodent complaint led to identified violations requiring follow-up inspections.

While the building has maintained a zero-infestation status in recent bedbug filings (most recent March 2024), there were several infrastructure challenges in 2021, including heating system failures affecting both entire building and apartment-specific systems in January and November. These heat and hot water issues were addressed by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development, with systems reportedly restored shortly after inspections.

The building has also faced several Housing Maintenance Code violations, including a March 2023 citation for failing to file the required annual bedbug report and a December 2021 violation related to inadequate vestibule lighting on the first story. Notably, a pattern of rodent-related complaints has persisted, with multiple "Condition Attracting Rodents" reports filed between 2019 and 2025, along with initial and compliance inspection failures in 2018 and 2020. While some of these issues have been addressed over time, the recurring nature of both heating system problems and rodent-related complaints suggests ongoing maintenance challenges at this property.
