34-38 110th Street, Queens, NY 11368

The 5-story, 6-unit residential building at 34-38 110th Street in Jackson Heights, owned by Ken Cheang and constructed in 2006, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past several years. Most recently, in August 2023, HPD issued violations related to heat and hot water problems, marking the fifth such incident since late 2018.

The building has also faced multiple safety concerns regarding self-closing doors, with several violations documented in late 2023 at the 4th and 5th stories, including issues with doors leading to boiler rooms and other critical areas. The property's maintenance history shows attention to these violations, with many being certified as closed after repairs were made.

Additional historical context includes complaints about illegal commercial use and plumbing issues in 2021 and 2022, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify these concerns. The building's environmental records are relatively positive, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years and only two rodent inspection failures documented in 2012 and 2013, with subsequent compliance achieved. While the building's issues primarily revolve around heating systems and door safety, the consistent pattern of heat-related complaints suggests an ongoing infrastructure challenge, though many violations have been promptly addressed once identified.
