72-12 47th Avenue, Queens, NY 11377

This 4-story, 3-unit residential building located at 72-12 47th Avenue in Maspeth, owned by Mount Sinai Properties Inc., was constructed in 2013 and has a history of maintenance and compliance issues. Most notably, the building has multiple open violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements dating back to 2021-2024, which remain unresolved despite previous similar violations.

In December 2020, the building experienced multiple emergency complaints related to heat and hot water issues, as well as concerns about mold, though these inspections did not result in any violations being issued. The building's December 2020 inspection revealed several safety and maintenance violations, including the need for proper carbon monoxide device notifications, gas leak procedure postings, and various maintenance issues including a broken plastered surface and water leak concerns in Apartment 3FL.

Prior to these issues, the building faced significant challenges in 2019, including complaints about an inadequate sprinkler system and illegal conversion, which resulted in Oath Violations. The Department of Buildings and Environmental Control Board records show multiple instances between 2019 and 2021 where the property failed to comply with Commissioner orders and file required certificates of correction, leading to penalties totaling $5,925.2 The building was ultimately issued a permit in April 2021 for exterior work, indicating some level of ongoing maintenance activity, but the persistence of open violations suggests ongoing compliance challenges. The property's violation history reflects a pattern of maintenance and compliance issues that have required ongoing attention from regulatory agencies, though many of the more recent complaints have not resulted in violations being formally issued.
