51-29 46th Street, Queens, NY 11377

The 51-29 46th Street building in Sunnyside, owned by Colleen Mcentee, is a 2-family, 2-story structure built in 1905. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues, with the most recent concerns emerging in May 2024 involving both mold and pest problems, though inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) did not result in violations being issued for these complaints.

A significant cluster of violations was documented on February 9, 2022, primarily affecting the second-floor apartment (2NDFLO), including issues with ceilings, walls, floors, doors, and a reported infestation of both roaches and mice, with multiple violations related to paint/plaster conditions. Notably, there are still open violations from this inspection related to ceiling repairs, plaster surfaces, door issues, flooring, and the need for carbon monoxide detection devices. While the building has had some recent maintenance activity, including inspections and complaint resolutions, the persistence of open violations from 2022 is concerning.

Interestingly, the property has no recorded bedbug issues since March 2024, with the reporting period (November 2022 to October 2023) showing zero infested units, suggesting this particular problem was successfully managed. The 311 and Housing Maintenance Code complaints indicate a pattern of unsanitary conditions and maintenance issues, particularly during the 2022 period, though many of these complaints were eventually closed following HPD inspections. The building's maintenance history shows a mix of both emergency and non-emergency issues, with the most recent problems being classified as unsanitary conditions.
