45-10 50th Avenue, Queens, NY 11377

The 7-unit, 4-story residential building at 45-10 50th Avenue in Sunnyside, owned by Annamaria Briante, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past four years, with the most notable cluster of problems occurring in late summer to fall 2021. The building suffered multiple heat and hot water system failures during August-September 2021, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, with inspections resulting in violations issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

Specific violations were documented in September 2021 for Apartment 3B, including lack of hot water at fixtures and a roach infestation, though these were subsequently closed. Additional infrastructure concerns were raised in September 2021, including a complaint about a defective boiler and an active Environmental Control Board violation related to the masonry chimney and missing safety features, for which a penalty was imposed.

More recent records from 2022 show several non-emergency maintenance issues, including problems with radiators, a refrigerator, and cabinets, all of which were investigated by HPD but resulted in no violations being issued. Notably, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the building since at least 2020, with all annual reports showing zero infested or eradicated units. The building's most recent documented issues have been relatively minor, with no major infrastructure or systems failures reported since the 2021 heat/water problems, though an open violation remains outstanding regarding the posting of the building's registration number in the public hall.
