132-34 41st Avenue, Queens, NY 11355

The 7-unit, 3-story residential building at 132-34 41st Avenue in Flushing, owned by Viola Deng, was constructed in 2008 and has experienced several significant events affecting resident safety and building compliance. Most notably, the property has been subject to multiple open violations related to bedbug reporting requirements between 2021 and 2024, and various other compliance issues including an unresolved violation from 2022 regarding the proper display of inspection certificates near mailboxes.

The building has a documented history of service disruptions, including heating system failures (2022), plumbing issues (2022), and multiple power outages (2018) that were classified as emergencies, though HPD inspections were often unable to gain access to verify conditions. In 2018, a series of serious violations were recorded regarding building safety systems, including the lack of required fire alarm systems and means of egress for transient use, as well as unauthorized modifications to Unit 4B including partition walls and a double cylinder lock installation.

These violations, along with others regarding illegal occupancy and sprinkler system requirements, resulted in significant fines totaling over $15,000, though records indicate these were subsequently resolved. The building's maintenance history shows regular inspections for rodent control, with successful passes recorded in 2011. While many past violations and complaints have been resolved, the presence of multiple open violations related to bedbug reporting requirements and inspection certificate postings indicates ongoing compliance challenges.
