48-12 48th Street, Queens, NY 11377

The three-story, six-unit New Law Tenement building at 48-12 48th Street in Sunnyside, owned by Evgenia Tripotseris, has a documented history of several significant maintenance and safety issues, with the most recent violation stemming from June 2023 for failure to file the 2018 external low pressure inspection report, which remains active as of now. The building experienced a concerning series of fire incidents in December 2017 that affected all three floors (1F, 2F, and 3F), resulting in documented fire damage across multiple apartments that required abatement. Subsequent violations from March 2019 included safety concerns regarding a dropladder on the fire escape and an illegal fastening chain and padlock in the north yard, both of which were classified as open violations, though the dropladder issue was later closed.

The property faced a water leak complaint in December 2018, which was resolved by April 2019. In terms of pest control, the building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug reporting compliance from 2021 through 2024, with certified filings showing zero infested units during all reporting periods. While there was an annual bedbug report violation issued in April 2021, this appears to have been resolved.

More recently, there are active violations regarding the failure to file the 2018 external low pressure inspection, which remains unresolved as of mid-2025. The most recent documented permit issuance occurred in April 2019, suggesting some regulatory compliance activity took place during that period. The building's age (constructed in 1928) and its history of fire damage and various safety violations warrant attention to historical safety concerns, though it appears the bedbug situation has been effectively managed in recent years.
