48-29 47th Street, Queens, NY 11377
The 6-unit, 3-story New Law tenement building at 48-29 47th Street in Sunnyside, owned by Kim Lau and constructed in 1928, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past five years. Most notably, there was a cluster of pest-related complaints in March 2019, with multiple reports of unsanitary conditions leading to HPD inspections and violations.
The building has consistently complied with bedbug reporting requirements from 2020 through 2024, with no documented infestations during these periods, though there was a persistent issue with the late submission of annual bedbug reports between 2021-2024 which resulted in Class A violations. A comprehensive inspection in 2019 revealed multiple safety concerns, particularly in apartment 2F, including missing window guards, painting violations, door self-closing issues, and several fire safety concerns related to carbon monoxide detection and gas leak procedures.
While many of these violations were certified as corrected by May 2019, the building's maintenance history shows a pattern of pest management challenges, though recent records from 2020 onward indicate improved conditions with no reported infestations. The most recent rodent inspection in 2015 showed initial non-compliance followed by a passing result, though more recent pest management records suggest improved overall maintenance.
