97-28 41st Avenue, Queens, NY 11368

The two-story, four-unit tenement building at 97-28 41st Avenue in Corona, owned by Yu Lin, has experienced recurring heating issues over the past several years, most recently documented in December 2024, when HPD investigated a heat/hot water complaint that was reportedly resolved. Similar heating problems occurred in October 2022, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, with HPD facing access issues during their investigation.

The building has also been subject to two open violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, dating from March 2023 and April 2024 inspections, though records from 2022-2021 show these violations were previously closed. The property has a history of building-wide complaints and inspections, including a 2020 complaint about possible illegal conversion, which resulted in no access during inspection, and a 2019 professional certification compliance audit that found no violations.

Interestingly, despite the bedbug violation notices, the building's official bedbug report for 2022 indicated zero infested units, and historical rodent inspections from 2010 and 2015 both passed without issues. These recurring heating system problems and outstanding bedbug reporting violations represent the most significant ongoing concerns for the property, particularly given their potential impact on resident comfort and compliance with housing maintenance codes.
