214-02 46th Road, Queens, NY 11361

The property at 214-02 46th Road in Bayside is a two-family residential building constructed in 1950, currently owned by Jian Chen. The building's recent history shows multiple concerning patterns, particularly in 2025, with ongoing investigations into illegal modifications and occupancy changes, as evidenced by an active complaint regarding unauthorized work and an opened complaint about rat sightings that remains in progress as of June 2025.

Both an illegal conversion complaint from March 2025 and an illegal commercial use complaint from early March of the same year were investigated but ultimately found to warrant no violations upon inspection in April and May 2025, respectively. Additionally, a complaint regarding a potentially invalid certificate of occupancy from January 2025 was closed without any violations being confirmed in March 2025.

The electrical safety of the building has also been scrutinized, with a complaint about defective or exposed wiring filed in August 2021, though this too was found to involve no violations upon inspection. While some of these complaints have been resolved with no violations noted, the concentration of recent complaints regarding illegal modifications and occupancy uses, most notably the active complaints as of mid-2025, suggests ongoing concerns about compliance with building regulations. The most recent complaint about rodent sightings, now in progress, raises additional potential concerns about building maintenance and hygiene standards.
