36-14 109th Street, Queens, NY 11368

The three-unit residential building at 36-14 109th Street in Jackson Heights, owned by Jinfa Xia, has experienced several notable maintenance issues since its construction in 1991. Most concerning is a cluster of unresolved violations from July 2022 affecting the third-floor apartment (3RDFLO), including problems with plumbing fixtures, heating systems, bathroom maintenance, and gas supply to kitchen fixtures.

During this same period, there were multiple complaints about cooking gas issues and pest problems, some of which resulted in emergency responses from HPD. The building underwent inspections in 2023 and 2024 that revealed additional open violations related to the filing of annual bedbug reports, though no bedbug infestation was specifically documented in the complaint history. Earlier issues documented in 2021 included a power outage and water supply problems, both of which were resolved without violations.

While there was an HPD inspection in 2021 that found no violations regarding pest complaints, the frequency and nature of maintenance issues in 2022 and 2023 suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The most recent building permit was issued in October 2019, though the specific nature of the work was not detailed in the available records. The combination of open violations from 2022, including problems with heating, plumbing, and gas systems, along with the missed opportunity for HPD inspections during some service requests, indicates potential ongoing maintenance concerns that require attention.
