41-44 149th Street, Queens, NY 11355

The 3-unit, 3-story residential building at 41-44 149th Street in Flushing, owned by Jonathan Shieh, has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent months. In September 2023, multiple complaints were filed regarding various problems including heavy water leaks, plumbing issues, mold, pest infestations, and problems with the intercom system.

While inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) were conducted and no violations were issued for many of these complaints, the building does have some open Class A violations as of September 2023. These violations pertain to the lack of required safety notices regarding carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detector requirements, and a completed certificate of inspection posting, which must be displayed near the mailboxes on the first story. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of rodent-related issues, with an initial inspection in September 2023 resulting in a failed inspection, though a subsequent compliance inspection in November 2023 passed.

Notably, the building has maintained an excellent record with respect to bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past five years according to the official bedbug reporting system. The property has also shown compliance with housing maintenance code requirements in terms of addressing violations promptly, as evidenced by the closure of multiple complaints shortly after they were filed in September 2023. While the building is currently facing some regulatory compliance issues regarding safety postings, the property owner has shown responsiveness to maintenance complaints, though many recent issues have required multiple inspections before resolution.
