27-17 Mcintosh Street, Queens, NY 11369

The 2-story, 3-unit residential building at 27-17 Mcintosh Street in East Elmhurst, owned by Min Li, was constructed in 1925 and has experienced several significant events over recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring issues with both heating and hot water systems, with the most recent emergency complaint logged in April 2024 being promptly addressed by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

The building currently has open Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2021-2024 regarding the failure to file mandatory annual bedbug reports, which requires attention based on HPD regulations. Other notable incidents include a broken/missing window guard reported in September 2019, though no violations were issued following inspection. The property has undergone some structural/environmental scrutiny, with a Department of Buildings (DOB) complaint in May 2019 regarding an illegally paved front yard, resulting in a related violation for failure to comply with zoning requirements for front yard planting.

This paved area was noted to cover 100% of the front yard, contrary to the required 25% minimum for planting. Construction permits were issued in late 2018 for various work, though specific details of the permitted work are not provided in the available records. While some issues have been resolved, the building's ongoing open violations related to bedbug reporting and the historical window safety concern warrant monitoring, though it's worth noting that HPD has verified and corrected more recent heating/hot water issues.
