50-10 48th Street, Queens, NY 11377

The two-family house at 50-10 48th Street in Sunnyside, owned by Jean Cunniffe, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, in December 2022, multiple complaints were filed simultaneously regarding the property's condition, including reports of mold, door and window issues, and wall problems, all of which were categorized as emergency situations.

During this same period, there were also concerns about indoor air quality related to sewage odors and asbestos, though no violations were found in the asbestos investigation. The building has a documented history of rodent problems, with the most recent rat activity inspection in November 2023 showing ongoing issues, though a subsequent compliance inspection in December 2023 passed successfully.

Previous rodent control efforts between 2018 and 2021 involved multiple applications of bait, indicating persistent infestations. The property has undergone some health department scrutiny, including a rat sighting investigation in 2021 that resulted in violations, and while various repairs and maintenance issues have been identified through 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code Complaints, inspections generally did not result in formal violations being issued. A separate building permit inspection in 2019 was marked by an inspector's inability to gain access, though this appears unrelated to the current owner or property's ongoing issues.
