131-48 40th Road, Queens, NY 11354

The 4-story, 3-unit building at 131-48 40th Road in Flushing, owned by K & R Realty 48 LLC, has experienced several significant events since its construction in 2007. Notably, in August 2018, there was a cluster of utility-related complaints including reports of a power outage, cooking gas issues, and heat/hot water problems, though the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to gain access to inspect the reported conditions.

Between 2019 and 2022, there were multiple violations and complaints, including a failure to file the required Category 1 elevator inspection/test in 2017 (resolved in 2022), and two consecutive years (2021-2022) of violations for not filing the annual bedbug report as required by HPD rules. Additional complaints regarding illegal conversion and construction beyond approved plans were filed in 2019 and 2022, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify these issues. The building's more recent history appears to show improved conditions, with no reported bedbug infestations in the 2022-2023 reporting period, and successful rodent inspection results from 2016.

The most recent bedbug report filed in December 2023 covering the period from November 2022 to October 2023 indicates no infested, eradicated, or re-infested dwelling units. While there have been various violations and complaints throughout the building's history, most have been resolved or dismissed through proper channels, suggesting that management is addressing issues as they arise. The property has maintained its Class A building designation throughout its history, with three units across four stories.
