33-47 Union Street, Queens, NY 11354

The 4-story, 3-unit residential building at 33-47 Union Street in Flushing, owned by Zheng Zheng and constructed in 2003, has experienced several notable regulatory events over recent years. The building has consistently faced issues with bedbug reporting compliance, with Housing Maintenance Code violations documented annually from 2021 through 2024, though the most recent report filed in May 2024 indicated zero current or previously infested units, suggesting improved conditions.

The property has also encountered more serious regulatory challenges, including three Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations in July 2021 related to failure to comply with Commissioner’s Orders regarding certificate of correction filings, specifically for violations issued between 2017 and 2020, each resulting in a $1,250 penalty. Additionally, there have been three complaints regarding illegal commercial/manufacturing use in a residential zone between 2018 and 2020, and one complaint about illegal conversion in 2021, though inspections were either unable to gain access or resulted in a violation notice being served.

The building has also undergone some permitted improvements, with work permits issued in December 2021 and January 2022 for plumbing and electrical work, though specific details of the work were not provided in the available records. While the recent bedbug report filing and resolution of the ECB violations suggest some regulatory compliance improvements, the building's history indicates a pattern of somewhat reactive rather than proactive management in addressing both pest control and regulatory compliance issues. The lack of any unit-specific violation records and the building's classification as a "Class A" residence indicate it is intended to be used as a legal residential building, though the history of commercial use complaints suggests prior non-compliance with zoning regulations.
