132-43 41st Avenue, Queens, NY 11355

The 5-story, 7-unit building at 132-43 41st Avenue in Flushing, owned by Danny Sung Chiang and constructed in 2015, has recently faced several significant issues regarding building code compliance. Most notably, in October 2023, violations were documented concerning unauthorized use of building spaces: a gaming room in the cellar that violated the Certificate of Occupancy (C of O) designation of an ambulatory/treatment healthcare facility, and a grocery store on the first floor contrary to C of O regulations. These violations remain active with associated penalties of $2,500.

In addition, there was a more recent violation in February 2024 regarding failure to comply with a Commissioner order to file a Certificate of Correction, with a $1,250 penalty. The building has maintained consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2021, with all annual filings showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units. Prior rodent inspections from 2011 show a record of rat activity in April 2011, followed by a compliance pass in May 2011, though these predate the current ownership and construction significantly.

The property has a documented history of bedbug reporting violations in 2021, 2022, and 2023, though these appear to have been resolved, and more recent filings show compliance with no infestations reported. The building's most pressing current concerns appear to be related to unauthorized use of space and failure to comply with certain building code requirements, as evidenced by the active ECB violations from 2023-2024. While the bedbug management program now appears to be operating successfully with no reported infestations in recent years, the building's current violations suggest ongoing challenges with maintaining proper building use and compliance with regulatory requirements.
