43-47 Byrd Street, Queens, NY 11355

The 5-story, 6-unit residential building at 43-47 Byrd Street in Flushing, owned by Kevin Wei, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past few years. Most notably, in 2022, there were multiple pest-related complaints, including confirmed mouse sightings and unsanitary conditions, particularly affecting apartment 3F, for which Class C violations were issued.

The building has ongoing violations regarding annual bedbug reporting requirements (April 2023 and April 2024). Security concerns were documented in August 2022, with violations issued for an illegal double cylinder lock and a defective vestibule door lock, both classified as Class C violations. The building has also faced heating system challenges, with complaints in November 2021 about inadequate heat and hot water, though inspections did not result in violations.

More recent concerns include two active Department of Buildings violations from April 2023 regarding the failure to file the 2022 external low-pressure inspection. In terms of regulatory compliance, multiple open violations from August 2022 remain unresolved, including requirements for carbon monoxide detector notices, gas leak procedures, and proper building registration signage. While a rodent inspection conducted in September 2022 resulted in a passing grade, the building's maintenance history reflects ongoing challenges with both pest control and safety compliance.
