135-20 40th Road, Queens, NY 11354
135-20 40th Road is a 3-unit, 3-story residential building located in Flushing, constructed in 1993 and currently owned by Ohmi Morimoto. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past five years, including an active violation from July 2024 for removing or defacing a posted vacate order, with a penalty of $2,500. A concerning pattern of elevator-related problems is evident, with violations in 2018-2020 regarding defective doors and lack of alternate service.
The building has also faced repeated Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2022-2024 related to failing to file annual bedbug reports, though recent bedbug filings from 2021-2025 indicate zero infested units. Multiple Department of Buildings violations demonstrate ongoing compliance challenges, though several from 2019 were dismissed after correction. The property has a documented history of health and safety concerns, including three smoking violations (2020-2024), food establishment issues (2018-2024), and multiple environmental control board violations.
Notably, a serious October 2018 inspection revealed multiple safety issues, including non-working emergency lights and maintenance concerns throughout the building. However, more recent inspections including rodent inspections in 2011 and 2022 showed compliance. While the bedbug situation appears to be under control based on recent filings showing no infestations, the building's history shows recurring issues with timely compliance to regulatory requirements and maintaining safe egress systems. The most recent 311 service requests and violations suggest ongoing challenges with maintaining proper documentation and promptly addressing safety concerns, as evidenced by the 2024 vacate order violation and elevator-related issues from previous years.
