50-13 45th Street, Queens, NY 11377

The three-story, six-unit New Law Tenement building at 50-13 45th Street in Sunnyside, owned by Jimmy Chan, has experienced several maintenance challenges since 2018. The property, constructed in 1926, has a documented history of accessibility issues for inspections, with multiple 311 complaints in late 2018 and mid-2019 regarding unsanitary conditions, including mold and pest problems, as well as issues with flooring, plumbing, and wall conditions.

During this period, there were also violations related to garbage storage and heavy water leaks. More recent records show improvements in some areas, with the building passing rodent inspections in 2016 following initial rat activity detection, and there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years (2020-2025), with all previous infestations being reported as eradicated. The most recent inspection violations from 2018-2019 included requirements to maintain proper fire safety notices, remove encumberances from fire escapes, and address window counterbalance issues in apartment 2F.

While some of these violations have been resolved, there remains an open violation from 2018 requiring light-colored paint on the second-story public hall ceiling. The building's bedbug reporting history from 2020-2025 shows consistent compliance with annual reporting requirements, with no reported infestations in any unit during this period. The most recent housing maintenance code complaints and violations suggest improved conditions, though the building's earlier issues with access to inspections and various maintenance problems are noteworthy.
