48-11 45th Street, Queens, NY 11377
The 4-story, 23-unit New Law Tenement building at 48-11 45th Street, built in 1928 and currently owned by Alex Kahen, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over recent years. Most concerning are two recent rodent-related incidents in 2025 and 2023, with the 2025 inspection resulting in violations that warrant follow-up inspections by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.
The building has a documented history of ceiling-related problems, with immediate emergency complaints in 2019 and 2023, though inspections found no violations in 2023, while 2019 revealed multiple violations including mold, pest infestations, and issues with carbon monoxide/smoke detectors in apartment 4D. The property underwent several repairs and improvements in 2019 following multiple inspections revealing various violations, including electrical work done without proper permits, unsafe electrical equipment, and work contrary to stop work orders.
The Department of Buildings issued several fines in 2019 related to construction rights not posted/distributed and failure to provide proper safety equipment, though these appear to have been resolved. The building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug inspections with no reported infestations since 2021, and while a rodent inspection in 2025 resulted in violations, a prior inspection in 2023 had passed. The most recent permits issued in 2019 suggest that significant work was completed during that period, though some ongoing safety system issues remain, as evidenced by the recent rodent violations and outstanding open violations from the 2019 inspection.
