108-49 Guy R Brewer Blvd, Queens, NY 11433

The two-family house at 108-49 Guy R Brewer Blvd, owned by Hyancinth Brown, has experienced significant structural and safety issues in recent years, particularly in 2024. Most concerning are two active violations as of April 2024, including a failure to submit an acceptable inspection report for a structurally compromised building, and damage from a fire at the front section of the building that affected the second floor, exposing it to the elements and compromising egress.

Earlier in 2024, the building received a full vacate order on January 28 due to concerns about building shaking/vibrating/structural stability, followed by construction enforcement work that reportedly found no violations. The building's permit history shows activity in late 2018, with multiple permits issued for plumbing (PL), electrical (EW), and equipment (EQ) work under job number 420980807.

Between 2018 and 2019, the property faced multiple Environmental Control Board violations related to failure to comply with the Commissioner's orders, primarily concerning building occupancy without a valid Certificate of Occupancy, with penalties totaling $45,000 across several violations, though they were ultimately resolved. Similar pattern of compliance issues is evident in 2018-2019, with multiple violations for failing to file necessary certificates of correction. While three previous DOB complaints from 2024 (building shaking, construction work) and one from 2021 (illegal plumbing work) resulted in no violations at the time of inspection, the more recent structural issues indicate ongoing concerns with the building's condition and safety.
