Summary · as of November 10, 2026
146-33 Cherry Avenue (Queens, NY 11355; tax lot BBL 4053760027) is a one-family home (building class A1: one-family home, two stories, detached), built around 1920, on a 3,300 sq ft lot zoned R3X. City tax records list the owner as LAI, YU JEN. The Department of Finance's final market value for tax year 2027 is $1,286,000. As of November 10, 2026 (limited by DOB Job Application Filings (BIS); other open-item sources were confirmed later), NYC Open Data shows no open DOB jobs, no active DOB, DOB NOW safety or ECB violations and no open HPD violations for this lot, but it does show one OATH ticket with an unpaid balance. An unpaid OATH ticket is a fine the city says is still owed. It is counted separately from violations, so this lot has no open violations but is not free of outstanding items.

Vacate orders 0 active of 1
Orders to leave a building, in whole or in part, from DOB complaint dispositions and from HPD. Per city records, an order is active when the latest vacate served (full or partial, including a MARCH code that issues a vacate) has no later full rescind. A partial rescind is noted and does not clear the order. DOB complaint data can lag the DOB BIS property profile; confirm a DOB order there.
