220-55 46th Avenue, Queens, NY 11361

This 13-story, 314-unit residential building located at 220-55 46th Avenue in Bayside, owned by Tony Delgado, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years, particularly during a notable crisis period in February 2021 when three separate emergencies were recorded: a heat and hot water outage affecting the entire building, a water supply plumbing issue, and an electrical power outage. While inspections were conducted for these complaints, no violations were found, and the services were reportedly restored.

In 2023, two significant ventilation-related complaints were filed, one regarding indoor air quality in May and another concerning the vent/exhaust system, though both complaints were closed without violation. More recently, in May 2023, there was a complaint about window frames that the HPD was unable to inspect due to access issues, and inspections in July and August 2023 have not resulted in any violations being warranted. The building underwent facade restoration work in 2019 that triggered multiple Department of Buildings Environmental Control Board violations related to safety compliance and scaffold conditions, though these were ultimately resolved with associated penalties.

Currently, there is an active violation from December 2024 regarding the failure to display the building's energy efficiency score and grade, though this is likely administrative in nature. On a positive note, the building has maintained a clean record with respect to pest control, as evidenced by consistent zero counts for bedbug infestations in annual reports from 2019 to 2024, and recent rodent inspections in 2024 resulted in a passing grade. The building's permit history shows regular maintenance and compliance with city regulations, with multiple permits issued between 2018 and 2019 for various maintenance and emergency work.
