69-47 Grand Avenue, Queens, NY 11378

The three-story, two-family house at 69-47 Grand Avenue in Maspeth, owned by Zhenbin Wu and constructed in 1901, has experienced several significant events over its recent history, particularly during 2018 when multiple issues were documented. Between September 25 and September 30, 2018, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) conducted investigations into various complaints including heat/hot water issues throughout the building, pest infestations, and unsafe conditions related to the fire escape. While most of these incidents did not result in violations, there were documented issues with wall conditions requiring attention.

The property has had multiple recent complaints including an ongoing investigation as of May 2025 regarding food safety (bare hands in contact with food) and a smoking violation from 2022. A potentially concerning pattern emerged in 2018 when multiple emergency complaints were filed including issues with electrical lighting, sewage, and the plumbing water supply, though all these complaints were subsequently closed. Notably, the building has maintained a clean record with respect to bedbug infestations, with all three annual reports from 2021 to 2025 showing zero cases of infestation or eradication.

The most recent inspection filings from 2025 show no reports of active infestations in any dwelling units. Additionally, there was one Department of Buildings complaint in 2018 regarding illegal work/permit issues, though inspectors were unable to gain access during their second attempt. The building's complaint history demonstrates that while there have been multiple incidents requiring government agency involvement, most have been resolved without resulting in ongoing violations or safety concerns. The most recent complaints primarily relate to non-structural issues such as food safety and smoking rather than the systemic problems that characterized some of the 2018 incidents.
