72-34 47th Avenue, Queens, NY 11377

The three-family residential building at 72-34 47th Avenue in Maspeth, owned by Xueyun Jiang and constructed in 1988, has experienced several notable maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most concerning is the active Environmental Control Board violation from August 2023, with a penalty of $625, relating to an inadequate fence condition connected to retaining wall problems on the property’s 73rd Street side and rear yard, where the three-foot metal fence was observed leaning towards the driveway.

This followed a complaint in July 2023 about an inadequate fence, which resulted in an Oath Violation being served. The building has also experienced retaining wall issues more recently, with a September 2023 complaint documenting bulging or cracking, though this complaint's final disposition is somewhat unclear as it referenced another complaint number. The property has a documented history of rodent-related issues, with inspections in 2018 (October and September) showing rat activity and failing inspections for various reasons.

Earlier rodent inspections in 2013 showed passing results, indicating some periods of improved conditions. A 2019 zoning complaint was investigated in 2020, but no violations were found at the time of inspection. These documented issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges at the property, particularly regarding exterior structural elements and pest control compliance, though some of the more recent complaints have been formally addressed through violation processes.
