51-24 Simonson Street, Queens, NY 11373

The two-family house at 51-24 Simonson Street in Elmhurst, owned by Zhengs 6888 Realty Inc., is a two-story, three-unit building constructed in 1940. The property's regulatory history shows several significant events, most notably a sequence of permit applications in 2019 related to plumbing and alteration work.

In July 2019, an alteration (AL) permit was issued, followed by two plumbing (PL) permits in August 2019, suggesting the building underwent some planned improvements or modifications during that period. However, this period of permitted work followed an environmental violation issued in June 2018, where the property was cited for installing unauthorized plumbing work, including a full-height bathroom partition and water/waste lines for a three-piece bathroom and residential sink. While this violation was ultimately resolved with no penalty imposed, it highlights a prior instance of unpermitted work.

The Department of Buildings also recorded a complaint in August 2019 regarding unpermitted work, though this complaint was investigated and no violations were found at the time of inspection. While the building appears to have undergone some improvements in 2019 with proper permits being obtained, the earlier history of unpermitted work and a related complaint suggests a period where construction activities were occurring without proper authorization. The most recent documented activities related to the building are from 2020, and there have been no recorded violations or complaints since then up to the current date of July 2025, indicating a potentially more compliant pattern of property management in recent years.
