50-64 44th Street, Queens, NY 11377

The two-family residential building at 50-64 44th Street in Sunnyside, owned by Shing Lam, is a 2-story structure built in 1930 containing 3 units. The property has experienced several notable events over the past two decades, with specific attention to safety and maintenance concerns.

A significant housing maintenance code violation was recorded in 2006 regarding an illegal double cylinder key-operated lock at the front entrance security gate, though this was certified as corrected in 2020. In recent years, there have been two Department of Buildings complaints related to possible illegal conversions (in 2022 and 2019), though both inspections ended with the inspector unable to gain access or finding no violations.

The building has undergone appropriate maintenance checks for pest control, with no recorded bedbug infestations in the last five reporting periods (2021-2024), and passed a rodent inspection in July 2021 following an earlier rat sighting complaint that year which was investigated but resulted in no violations. Multiple permits were issued in 2019 for various works under job number 421883812, including electrical and plumbing-related tasks, indicating some maintenance and upgrades were performed during that period.
