52-11 Van Loon Street, Queens, NY 11373

52-11 Van Loon Street is a 4-story, 3-unit residential building constructed in 2004 and currently owned by Biqing He. The property has had several significant events, most notably from 2019-2020 when the building faced multiple compliance issues, including an illegal cellar conversion that resulted in three Environmental Control Board violations in September 2019, with penalties totaling $5,000. These violations cited unauthorized residential modifications and illegal occupancy beyond the legally approved three-family designation.

There was also a window safety issue reported in late 2019, which was inspected by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development with no violations found. More recent inspections have shown the building's management to be responsive to regulatory requirements, though there have been recurring annual bedbug report violations from 2021-2024 indicating non-filing of required documentation, with no actual infestations reported in any of the four consecutive annual filings. The most recent bedbug report for the period of 2022-2023 shows zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units.

The building's permits show proper maintenance protocols, with an East West demolition permit issued in October 2019. The property has maintained a clean record regarding rodent inspections since the initial failure in January 2012, as there have been no subsequent reports on this issue. A December 2019 violation regarding failure to certify correction of an immediately hazardous ECB violation remains active.
