71-19 Calamus Avenue, Queens, NY 11377

The two-family house at 71-19 Calamus Avenue in Maspeth, owned by Jun Qiang Mei, has experienced several notable issues between 2018 and 2021. Most notably, in March 2021, there were complaints regarding construction work and possible illegal conversion of the property, though inspectors were unable to enter the premises on their second attempt.

The building has a documented history of permit-related concerns, with a significant incident in July 2020 where an open violation was recorded regarding an unauthorized opening created at the first story near a garage door, which involved modifications to a knee wall and new concrete work. This violation was later resolved with no penalties imposed. The property has undergone multiple permitted renovations, with several permits issued in late 2018 and 2019 including plumbing (PL) and alteration (AL) work.

A subsequent construction-related complaint in March 2019 regarding work beyond approved plans did not result in any violations at the time of inspection. While the building has experienced various compliance issues, most were addressed through proper permitting processes or resolved through the Department of Buildings' violation system. The permits issued in 2018-2019 suggest some level of renovation activity, though the exact nature and scope of these improvements is not detailed in the available records.
