133-02 41st Avenue, Queens, NY 11355

The 4-story residential building at 133-02 41st Avenue in Flushing, owned by Xiu Chai Xia, has been subject to several significant incidents since its 2003 construction. Most notably, between 2018 and 2020, the property faced serious code violations related to unauthorized commercial use of its cellar level, where illegal modifications created massage rooms and a "social club" area, along with unsafe storage of combustible materials including propane tanks. These violations resulted in multiple Environmental Control Board penalties totaling over $8,000, all of which have been resolved.

The building has consistently maintained zero infestations of bedbugs since 2020, as confirmed by recent bedbug reporting records from 2021-2024, which show no infested or re-infested units. Housing Maintenance Code violations have been primarily focused on the requirement to file annual bedbug reports, with the most recent notice issued in April 2024. The property has experienced various complaints regarding its use as an illegal hotel and unauthorized commercial activities, particularly during 2018-2021, though most of these complaints either resulted in no violations or the inspector being unable to gain access.

Two violations related to boiler inspection report filings were issued in November 2019, though these were later dismissed after payment of penalties. Rodent inspections from 2011 show one compliance failure, though records indicate this was resolved. The building's current status appears relatively stable, with no recent significant violations or complaints on record since 2020, aside from the periodic bedbug reporting requirements.
