135-32 40th Road, Queens, NY 11354

The three-story mixed-use building at 135-32 40th Road in Flushing, owned by Asia Plaza Corp, was constructed in 1992 and contains 3 residential units. The property has experienced several concerning issues over the past three years, with the most significant being ongoing food establishment and safety concerns, including an open food poisoning complaint from January 2023, and a closed case from November 2022 involving rodents/insects/garbage.

Multiple violations have been documented regarding the building's use and safety compliance, particularly in 2023 and 2024, including active ECB violations for work without a permit, obstructed egress, and unauthorized use of space as gambling and massage establishments. The building has a history of citation for failing to submit annual bedbug reports between 2022 and 2024, though recent filings in 2025 showed no evidence of infestation during the previous two-year periods. Earlier complaints from 2018-2019 indicated issues with electrical wiring, plumbing, and various building maintenance concerns, though many of these infractions were eventually resolved.

The property underwent multiple inspections and had several violations for failing to maintain proper building codes and occupancy requirements, particularly relating to combustible storage around mechanical equipment. The elevator system has also been subject to regulatory scrutiny, with active violations regarding inspection compliance since 2019. While rodent control measures were actively applied in 2012, more recent inspections in 2023-2024 suggest improved sanitary conditions, with no reported rodent activity since 2013.
