53-02 46th Street, Queens, NY 11378

The two-family house at 53-02 46th Street in Maspeth, owned by Bclh Properties LLC, has experienced some notable issues in recent months. Most significantly, in November 2023, the building faced heat and hot water problems affecting the entire structure, leading to complaints filed with both the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and the Housing Maintenance Code.

While these complaints were marked as emergency situations, HPD was reportedly unable to access the building for inspection purposes, resulting in the complaint being closed without confirmation of resolution. Looking further back in the building's history, there were documented rodent issues in 2011, with inspections conducted in July and November of that year showing rat activity, though no more recent pest problems have been reported since then.

Originally constructed in 1915, this two-story building appears to have had relatively few documented issues over the past decade, with the recent heat and hot water problems being the most significant resident impact. Given the timing of the complaints and the HPD's inability to gain access for inspection, it's unclear whether the heating and hot water issues were promptly addressed or if they persisted beyond the complaint filing.
