149-01 85th Street, Queens, NY 11414
The three-story, two-family house at 149-01 85th Street in Howard Beach, owned by Jenmei Niu, was constructed in 1975 and currently contains three units. The property has experienced several notable issues over the past several years, with the most significant concerns centering around pest control and unpermitted work activities.
In mid-2022, there were two reported incidents of rodent sightings that drew the attention of the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, with one case resulting in documented violations and the need for follow-up inspections. March 2023 saw multiple complaints related to work being conducted without proper permits, though inspections on March 28, 2023, resulted in one case finding no violations and another where the inspector was unable to gain access.
A concerning history from 2019 is also on record, including a complaint about an illegal conversion of the property, which led to a violation being served. That same year, the building received a Class 1 (immediately hazardous) ECB violation for failure to certify correction of an issue, though this violation was later dismissed in April 2021. While some issues have been resolved through inspections and dismissals, the recurring nature of pest complaints and the history of unpermitted work suggest ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges at the property.
