199-04 47th Avenue, Queens, NY 11358

The three-story residential building at 199-04 47th Avenue in Fresh Meadows, owned by Kum Hwie Cho, has experienced several notable maintenance issues since its construction in 2006. Most recently, in early 2023, there were multiple heat and hot water complaints, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, with one inspection unable to gain access to units for verification.

These heating system problems appear to be an ongoing concern, with similar complaints recorded in September and November 2022, though some were resolved quickly with tenant confirmation of restored services. A plumbing issue involving a toilet was reported in December 2022, which also could not be inspected due to access issues. The building's maintenance record includes a November 2022 complaint regarding a defective boiler, which was investigated but resulted in no violations.

In March 2023, a violation was noted regarding the annual bedbug report filing requirement under § HMC, though the building has consistently demonstrated zero infestation issues in the subsequent bedbug reporting periods from 2020 through 2025. The most recent bedbug report for the period starting November 2023 shows no infested units or eradication efforts required, indicating effective pest management. While the heat and water issues represent the most significant resident impact concerns, it's worth noting that many complaints were promptly addressed, even if inspections faced access challenges, and the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations.
