452 Seneca Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

452 Seneca Avenue is a 3-story, 4-unit residential building constructed in 1930, currently owned by Jiang Lin and classified as an Old Law Tenement. The property has experienced significant ongoing maintenance issues, particularly related to safety and sanitation. Most notably, there are multiple active violations regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports (dating back to 2022) and several violations regarding safety equipment in apartment 2R, including defective carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and a noted roach infestation.

The building has also failed to maintain proper records for low-pressure inspections, with six active violations for failure to file external low-pressure inspection reports between 2018 and 2023. While rodent inspections in 2024 passed, historical data shows numerous failures between 2010 and 2016, suggesting continuing pest control challenges. Recent complaints and violations (as of 2023) include unsanitary conditions involving pests and a broken window guard, though no violations were issued for the window guard issue.

The building has several open violations from 2021-2024 that require attention, including requirements to post gas leak procedures, housing information guides, and lead paint hazard notifications. A Department of Health and Mental Hygiene complaint from late 2018 regarding food protection issues resulted in official notification to the owner, though the resolution is not specified in the records. The combined evidence suggests ongoing maintenance and safety compliance challenges that have persisted over multiple years, with various violations remaining open as of the most recent inspections.
