48-48 46th Street, Queens, NY 11377
The 6-unit, 3-story building at 48-48 46th Street in Sunnyside, owned by Michael Kelleher, has a mixed history since its 1928 construction as a New Law Tenement. Most recently, the building has faced concerns regarding fire safety, with an unresolved HPD inspection from March 2023 that was unable to gain access for evaluation. The building's legal compliance and maintenance history reveals several significant incidents, including multiple bedbug reporting violations between 2021 and 2024, though the most recent report (July 2024) indicates no infestations during the previous two-year period.
In 2019, there were serious issues with unauthorized room conversions in Apartment 2R, leading to Class B violations for discontinuing improper room use and a Class C violation requiring temporary sealing of accessible openings, which were eventually certified corrected. The building has experienced recurring issues with its fire escape system, with a 2023 safety complaint remaining unresolved as of June 2023. Health and safety concerns have been documented through various channels, including a boiler violation in 2021 regarding an improperly displayed heating system sign, and multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations related to doors and windows in 2018.
Rodent inspections from 2013 and 2017 showed inconsistent results, with initial failures followed by compliance passes. The property has maintained accurate bedbug reporting patterns since 2021, with no documented infestations across multiple reporting periods. The building's history also includes two separate illegal conversion complaints (2018 and 2022) regarding unauthorized room modifications, with the 2019 violation specifically noting unauthorized construction of bathrooms and bedrooms in the cellar level.
