132-38 41st Avenue, Queens, NY 11355

The four-story, five-unit residential building at 132-38 41st Avenue in Flushing, owned by Hong Mu and constructed in 2002, has experienced several notable issues over its operational history. Most significantly, there has been an ongoing pattern of bedbug report compliance violations from 2021 through 2024, with all four annual notifications remaining open as of 2024.

The building faced substantial regulatory scrutiny in 2018 when multiple violations were recorded against Yan Sen Group LLC, including illegal conversion to 14 SRO units, inadequate fire alarm systems, and unauthorized construction of additional sleeping rooms, with fines totaling $20,800. There were also violations regarding plumbing work in 2018 and 2019, though the Department of Buildings ultimately dismissed these charges following permit renewals. More recent activity includes several inspections in 2021 that resulted in no violations being found, though inspections in 2021 and 2022 were marked by inspectors being unable to gain access in at least one instance.

Two permits were issued in 2020 and 2021, suggesting some level of ongoing maintenance or improvement work. The building has maintained its basic regulatory compliance regarding rodents, having passed its most recent inspection in 2011. While the property has experienced a variety of code enforcement actions and maintenance issues since its construction, most current violations relate specifically to bedbug report filing requirements, rather than structural or safety concerns.
