48-15 44th Street, Queens, NY 11377

The two-family house at 48-15 44th Street in Sunnyside, owned by Noel Singh, is a 2-story, 3-unit building constructed in 1920. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past five years, with the most recent significant incident occurring in June 2025 involving a building-wide heat and hot water emergency that resulted in violations requiring correction.

This follows a documented pattern of heat and hot water problems, including a similar emergency complaint in December 2020 and another in April 2019 that affected the entire building. The property has also faced various plumbing issues, with emergency complaints recorded for a basin/sink problem in December 2020 and a toilet issue in April 2019, though inspectors were unable to gain access to investigate these conditions at that time. Additional maintenance concerns were reported in 2019 regarding paint and plaster issues on ceilings and window frames, though these were categorized as non-emergency complaints.

In terms of pest control, the building underwent inspections in late 2024 and early 2025 for rodent activity, both of which resulted in passing grades, suggesting no significant infestation problems at those times. The most recent Department of Buildings complaint from October 2023 regarding an unpermitted work issue was investigated and found to have no warranted violations. While some inspection access issues have been documented, particularly in 2019, most recent complaints have resulted in inspections and official responses, indicating a more responsive handling of maintenance issues.
