48-50 48th Street, Queens, NY 11377

The 3-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement building at 48-50 48th Street in Sunnyside, owned by Oscar Sarmiento and constructed in 1928, has experienced relatively few maintenance issues in recent years. The most significant recent violation occurred in March 2023, when the building received a Class A violation for failing to file the annual bedbug report with the Housing Maintenance Code (HMC), though this violation was subsequently closed.

An earlier pest control issue was documented in June 2018, when a Class B violation was filed for a roach infestation in the 1st floor, front-right apartment, which was certified as addressed by August 2018. Notably, the building has maintained a consistent record of being free from bedbug infestations over the past five years, with all six annual bedbug reports (from 2019 through the current filings at the end of 2024) showing zero infested dwelling units and zero eradicated or re-infested units.

The most recent bedbug report for the period ending October 2024 indicates complete compliance with reporting requirements, suggesting improved attention to pest management protocols following the 2023 violation. While the building is now 97 years old, the relatively limited history of violations and complete absence of bedbug infestations in recent years may indicate stable management practices, though the 2018 roach problem and 2023 reporting violation suggest occasional maintenance challenges.
