51-48 48th Street, Queens, NY 11377

This two-family house located at 51-48 48th Street in Sunnyside is a two-story, 1930 structure owned by Juan Sotomayor. The building's inspection and complaint history reveals a relatively consistent pattern of rodent-related issues over the past decade, with the most recent incidents occurring in late 2022.

Notably, there were two reported rat sightings in 2022 (February and December), which were investigated by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) but did not result in any violations. The property has undergone several rodent inspections between 2011 and 2023, with the most recent inspection in January 2023 showing a passing result, along with another passing inspection in April 2022. However, there was one compliance inspection in April 2011 that followed an initial inspection from March 2011 where the building failed for "Other Reasons," though specific details of this failure are not provided in the records.

The building's overall inspection pattern shows that while rodent issues have been recurrent, the property has consistently passed subsequent inspections following complaints. The most recent inspections in 2022 and 2023 indicate no current violations or ongoing rodent control issues, suggesting that any previous concerns may have been adequately addressed. The relatively infrequent nature of complaints (only three reported incidents since 2011) and the fact that all recent inspections have passed could be viewed as an indication of improved conditions, though the historical pattern of rodent-related complaints is worth noting.
