132-30 Maple Avenue, Queens, NY 11355

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 132-30 Maple Avenue in Flushing, owned by Mae Ha Kaw and constructed in 1980, has experienced various maintenance and safety issues over recent years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in 2023. Between June 30 and July 2, 2023, multiple emergency complaints were logged regarding safety concerns (including carbon monoxide and smoke detector issues, fire escape problems), plumbing issues (water supply), and door/window concerns.

These incidents were all closed by mid-July 2023. The building has had recurring water-related issues, with violations for heavy water flow in April 2021, and multiple plumbing complaints in 2023. Other notable historical complaints include a 2019 incident of heat and hot water loss, which was reportedly resolved, and a door/window issue that could not be inspected.

Recent activity in 2025 raised concerns about potential illegal activities near the property, with three complaints entered between March 27-31, 2025, regarding possible illegal commercial use, unauthorized after-hours work, and work without proper permits. While the latter two complaints were closed due to lack of violations at the time of inspection, an illegal conversion complaint from June 2023 remains active as of March 2025. The building has consistently maintained a zero infestation record on its annual bedbug reports from 2021 to 2024, showing good pest management practices, and its most recent annual filing (May 2024) indicated no infested, eradicated, or re-infested units during the previous year.
